In this episode, I’m thrilled to be chatting with Kerry Martin, a Melbourne-based international dog photographer who’s mastered the art of phodography™ – capturing heartwarming portraits of our beloved canine companions.

During our conversation, we dive into the secrets of capturing better photos of your dog, working with a photographer to elevate your brand, and making the most out of professional images. We’ll also discuss how to seamlessly blend your own content with professionally shot dog photography images for social media.
