Emma\u00a0says:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWow! I can\u2019t believe this! Thank you so so much!<\/p> “During the second half of 2023, I really wanted to learn and grasp studio photography. Using my own Dachshunds and a very basic single light set up in my living room I practiced hard throughout August and September.\u00a0<\/p> “The dog in the image (Levi) is smooth and very very glossy! Not only that\u2026he is mainly black, which we all know black-coated dogs can be tricky.”\u00a0<\/p> Colin Jones The Society of Photographers CEO\u00a0said: “Congratulations to Emma on winning the Dog Competition. The winning image is a\u00a0beautiful\u00a0picture of Levi which has been handled well, showcasing the dog\u2019s personality. Well done\u00a0Emma.”<\/p> Emma’s winning photograph was shot on a Sony A7R III – FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM.<\/strong><\/p> Second place<\/strong><\/p> Second prize went to Belinda Richards\u00a0FSWPP\u00a0from\u00a0Victoria,\u00a0Australia. Belinda is a photographic artist specialising in pets and digital manipulation.\u00a0<\/p> Third place<\/strong><\/p> Third prize went to Emma Pope again<\/p> “Bodhie the lovely collie belongs to a good friend of mine. While on an autumnal dog walk in the woodland we came across the perfectly placed log. Everything just matched up in perfect harmony. The light, the colours and Bodhie\u2019s coat,”\u00a0says Emma.<\/p> Highly commended<\/strong><\/p> Here are some of the images that were highly commended in the competition.<\/p> By Chantal Sammons<\/p> By Kirsty Bevan<\/p> By Grace Fieselman<\/p> By Karen Nicholson<\/p> By Grace Fieselman<\/p> Love dogs?
