Dog
Photographer in Lisbon

Professional dog photography is more than just a keepsake photo. It's working with a moving, unpredictable subject that doesn't follow posing commands. That's why it's important to understand what kind of shoot you need – a pet portrait or show-standard dog photography. Each has its own goals, and as a photographer, I adapt my approach accordingly.

If you're preparing a dog for the ring, working with a kennel, or promoting a breeding line, I shoot portraits that highlight breed standards. The right stack, clean background, expressive head, proper lighting – nothing extra, just the dog looking its best. I shoot outdoors or near exhibition venues, always fast and to the point – because moments don't wait.

During shows, I capture moments in the ring, winners with trophies, portraits with handlers, and group shots. I also photograph puppies and full litters – together and separately. I know how to get everyone in frame before someone runs off. For breeders, I help create portfolios for websites, ads, and catalogs.

Photo sessions for your pet

If you just want to capture your dog's personality – we go for a walk. No posing, no commands, just your dog being themselves in a natural setting. This type of shoot is about emotion, expression, and mood. We can do portraits of the dog alone, or with you – in motion or calm.

I work with all breeds and ages – from tiny puppies to senior companions. The session is short and relaxed, always at the dog's pace. I adjust to their rhythm and mood – that's the secret to natural, honest photos.

These photos mean more than they seem. They become memories. And the most common thing I hear is: "I'm so glad we did it now." Because your dog is part of your life story – and that story deserves to be kept.

I shoot in Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra, and nearby. If you want honest, professional photos – just write to me. I work with both experienced dog people and those who simply love their pup.
