Following on from my personal wrap-up of 2015 – here’s some of my favourite shots taken at client shoots and mentoring sessions from 2015. For aspiring pet photographers who like to see lens and exposure specs, I’ve included them on all photos for you. All photos were taken with my Canon 1D-x camera body and all use 100% natural light.

Read MoreI was still rubbing sleep from my eyes when I turned up at New Farm Park at 5am to be greeted by this eternally happy face!
