Jim Barrett-Smith

Jim is an award-winning dog photographer with a passion for creating relaxed, natural images that capture the character and personality of every dog he photographs.

Based in Norfolk, Jim takes a relaxed, experience-led approach to dog photography. He believes dogs should be given the time and freedom to be themselves, rather than being rushed through a session. His photography sessions are designed to be enjoyable for both dogs and their owners, with plenty of time for running, playing and having fun.

Jim has won multiple awards for his dog photography, with his award-winning images created for real clients and their dogs. His work reflects his genuine love of dogs and his commitment to producing consistently high-quality photography.

Alongside his photography, Jim is passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience with other photographers. His practical approach and understanding of working with dogs make him a valuable contributor to photography education, particularly for photographers looking to improve their own pet and animal photography.
