Urban Dog Photography in Liverpool: You’ll Never (Dog) Walk Alone
In early March, I returned to my hometown of Liverpool to photograph six incredible dogs for my upcoming 2026 Angels of the North dog calendar. I was spoiled for choice with iconic scouse backdrops, and it's reassuring to know I could return to Merseyside for future dog photography sessions without repeating the same scenes. When I shared my model call in a local Liverpool Facebook group, my inbox nearly exploded. That’s what I love about this city. Scousers really do support one of their own. Thank you to everyone who applied, you made my job brilliantly difficult. Not a bad problem to have.

The historical city of York left me spoiled for choice for beautiful backdrops for dog photography, but I was also determined not to repeat the exact same set of images I captured earlier in the year. Turns out, I need not have worried as this time the sun was determined to up the ante for me as it is now rising so much earlier in the day.
Newcastle Dog Photography: Smashing It Out of the (St James') Park
As one of the most iconic cities in the North, Newcastle was an essential stop on my Angels of the North journey.

The city’s mix of modern and historic architecture provided endless inspiration, from the sweeping curves of the Quayside and the grandeur of the High Level Bridge and Castle to the intricate details of Central Arcade and the Theatre Royal. Be warned, Newcastle, I’ll be back. A lot.
