The background of National Dog Photography Day

National Dog Photography Day is a new holiday that was established in 2018 as an awareness day by pet photographer Kerry Jordan of Fur and Fables. The holiday became popular and went viral rapidly. The hashtag #nationaldogphotographyday went viral as pet owners from around the world posted photos of their canine companions.

Jordan began her career as a wedding photographer and was even nominated for regional honours. When she realised she desired more one-on-one interaction and to work fewer hours, she decided to pursue family photography. The first dog she photographed was a whippet named Scout, whom she met in this location. Over time, individuals began to request that she photograph their pets. She saw this as an opportunity, created a market niche, and grew as a result.

Thus, National Dog Photography Day is a festive occasion that encourages all dog owners to document the special affinity they share with their pet. Some dogs are more photogenic than others, but we can all concur that they are all adorable little fluff balls! What are you waiting for, then? Make your creatures your models using your camera or smartphone. Additionally, no one can refuse adorable puppy and dog photos on their feed!
