From puppies to dogs having fun to senior dogs, the "Motivational Dog Quotes" photo series captures the true character of each canine paired with a famous motivational dog quote.

Photographed with the intent to have fun and capture the true personality and character of a dog, each image is natural and often cute at the same time.

This is the second part in an original photo series launched on Bored Panda. These portraits of dogs with a corresponding motivational dog quote will make you smile and hopefully even laugh. I aim to artfully capture their true personality and character through my photography.

Elayne Boosler - "My Fashion Philosophy Is If You're Not Covered In Dog Hair, Your Life Is Empty"

Report

One of my most passionate aims as a dog photographer is to capture the true personality of every dog that I photograph. Using only natural light in the dog's familiar surroundings, I decided to pair up each specific photo with a meaningful and heartfelt motivational dog quote. I feel privileged to photograph dogs, and believe that all dogs deserve their story to be told through photography. 

Photography is my passion, pets are our life. I love nothing more than capturing that unique emotional connection and deep, unconditional love between an owner and their dog. With so many fantastic motivational dog quotes available, it has been a delight to connect them together.

This quote, although beautiful, may not be totally true as dogs are very pure and innocent animals who would love their humans even if they are horrible people.

As a child, I only have one photograph of me with my first dog Jenny, a rescue greyhound. I want to make sure that all dog lovers have at least one professional photograph of their dog that they can treasure forever.

This is little Winston, at just over four weeks old. His mother is just to the left of the photo and we was completely at ease for this quick photo at his house near Cliveden on the borders of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, UK

Kinky Friedman - "Money Can Buy You A Fine Dog, But Only Love Can Make Him Wag His Tail"

Anyone can take a photograph of a dog with their phone camera, and I encourage everyone to keep doing that. I love taking photographs of a dog’s true personality and character, and that special connection that you can get through the eyes of a dog. I pride myself in connecting with their soul through many of my on-location natural light portrait photography. Action photography is great fun, and whilst technically challenging, it is fulfilling when I can produce another great Dogs In Action photograph - of a dog being a dog.

This is Otis, a black pug who was 11 years old in the forest in Ascot, Berkshire, UK. Otis has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and we dedicate this quote and photo to him and his pawrents.

I tend to take most of my photographs in Windsor Great Park in the UK and the surrounding forests around Ascot, where the dogs can enjoy their own magical experience. 

For most dog lovers, their dog means the world to them. I want to give a voice to dogs and tell their story through photography. Whether it’s a dog in rescue, or a dog simply having fun with their owners, all dogs deserve their stories to be told. 

I enjoy creating magical experiences for dogs and their owners in natural environments like parks and forests.

This is Finlay, a young Labrador pup, having a run the forest in Ascot, Berkshire, UK. Dogs are such intelligent, and supportive working animals that in no way at all do I consider them foolish - I like this quote because when we are silly, stupid or foolish, they like to enjoy themselves and then mirror us too!

This is Zola, a four month old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, in her garden in West Sussex, UK. She was super curious to the many sounds I created for her to listen and tilt her head to.
