All good things come to an end… or do they? In recent years, I dove into the Embark and Emerge Challenges organized by .ed, and they were such a blast that I couldn’t resist signing up for their third and final interactive dog photography course: Empower.
Empower was an exciting adventure where we tackled 12 dog photography challenges over 6 months, with a fresh challenge popping up every two weeks. This year, we had 50ish photographers from all corners of the globe, and let me tell you, the competition was fierce! The sheer quality of the submissions was both overwhelming and incredibly inspiring, pushing me to give my all with every single shot.
I had an absolute blast experimenting with new techniques and honing my craft. I’m over the moon to share that 7 of my photos made it into the Top 10 and 2 of them won in their category! 🎉 I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed capturing them. 😊
I was also thrilled to receive recognition for my set of images as a High Commended Portfolio. It’s been amazing to see how much I’ve grown over the past 2.5 years, doing the challenges.
A huge thank you to Charlotte and Craig for all the invaluable feedback and coaching! And a special shoutout to my fabulous doggy models and their pawrents: Summer, Kai & Wattle, Rufus & Atticus, Minnie, Evie, Bolt & Force, Milo, Bindi, Arya, Jay Jay & Nala, Humphrey, June & Eshke, Pippi and all the other incredible pups who posed for me. You were all stars, and working with you was a pure joy! ♥️
If you’re interested in future model call opportunities or just want to keep up with my latest projects, give me a follow! The challenges may be over, but I’m always on the lookout for new models to try out fresh locations and concepts!
