The Dog Who Fell In Love With Being Photographed

What I love most about photographing dogs is how instantly it turns me into the most present, joyful version of myself. Dogs bring out the most loving emotions in me and I wholeheartedly enjoy every minute spent capturing their unique selves for it. Fortunately, this joy-igniting effect usually works both ways and I can bring out the same joyfulness in them too. This is Nexie. She is the second dog I have ever photographed in a studio, and this photograph captures the moment when she realized that despite her initial shyness, being in front of a camera might be a fun experience after all.

Greta Zubova is a fine art and dog photographer dedicated to celebrating and helping others through photographs. She is a self-taught photographer who started her creative journey in 2010, when she found out she was able to express her thoughts and feelings through photographs, though it wasn't until her photographs started to be beneficial to other people and animals that she truly discovered her passion in photography.
