About

I'm Rhian White and I love dogs, photography and the outdoors and if I can combine all three then I'm very happy! I have a 10-year old rescue Pug called Betsy. On 30 September 2024 my elderly Pug, Boo, sadly passed away - she was nearly 17. She was mine and Betsy’s family and we miss her terribly.

Actually, Boo inspired me to set up my photography business. When I first got Boo 17 years ago, I couldn’t stop taking photographs of her. She didn’t mind. After all, Boo was just playing around whilst I captured her with my camera - at her doggy best and having loads of fun. Since those first photos of Boo, I’ve spent 17 years working with around 1000 happy dogs and their loving families. 

I've also worked on professional commercial shoots for local, national and international organisations - firms such as Dogfit, Saunton Beach Villas, Woof and Brew, Drontal, Dog's Trust, PDSA and Support Dogs to name a few. I also work with small business such as dog walkers. My photographs have been published in The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Dog's Today magazine, Amateur Photographer magazine, Pro Photographer magazine, Dog Friendly magazine and many publications worldwide. My proudest moment, however, was when my Boo got the cover of Amateur Photographer magazine. I’ve had the cover twice.

My background

Initially I trained in TV production in Liverpool in the late 90s, but then went on to work as a graphic designer at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford for 5 years before starting a career in photography and film making. I’ve worked across all sorts of photographic and film-making disciplines – wedding and corporate photography, videos and corporate films.

I’ve also run workshops on photography, film, graphics and animation for a whole array of people – school kids, teachers, young offenders and business owners to name just a few.

I love teaching people how to take great photos of their dogs. If you'd like to learn the basics, bring yourself and your dog along to one of my dog photography workshops.

Now I am most happy when I am photographing dogs and their people in the outdoors, enjoying life, running free and being happy. This is what makes me happy!

I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon.
