A few months ago, I pushed myself to try something completely new: I entered the International Pet Photography Awards.

I’ve always loved photography and dogs, so combining the two felt pretty special. Today, I’m feeling good about taking that step. Feeling good today.

Why It Matters

A mate summed it up perfectly – sometimes you just need to get out of your comfort zone and give it a crack. That encouragement means a lot.

When I’m shooting, whether it’s motorsport, portraits, or commercial work, I’m always experimenting with new locations and pushing my abilities. It doesn’t always work, but you’ll never know unless you try .

Looking Ahead

Entering the awards reminded me how important it is to keep challenging myself creatively. Small steps lead to big things – and this was one of them.
