“His calm, kind energy put everyone at ease.”
“The photos do not just impress, they move you.”
This is me, Andrew Raven Richardson, award winning Canine Portrait Artist, the London Dog Photographer, along with my own sweet boy, Jack Jack.

My passion for helping rescue dogs in kennels led me on this journey. A journey which I still pinch myself to believe is real.
I start every day with Jack Jacks good morning face licks, am addicted to kissing his paws, and have a heart full of all things dog.
Capturing your unique souls, absorbing and cherishing the intimate bond you share, and allowing me to re-live them with you over and over again leaves me thankful every day.
Dogs have a way to fill our lives with joy, love us unconditionally and quite frankly, are the best kind of souls to be around.
I would love to be entrusted with yours.
I’m so grateful for you being here.

London, the ultimate playground for fine art dog photography.
As a Central London-based, international dog photographer, I never tire of uncovering hidden nooks, corners, elegant stone columns, and timeless settings across the city — from the Regent's Park, Hyde Park and Kensington to Mayfair, West End, Chelsea, Westminster, and the iconic backdrop of Big Ben, London Eye, London Bridge and Buckingham Palace. These photoshoot locations become the perfect stage to create intimate pet portraits that celebrate the beauty and spirit you share with your beloved family dog.
Each bespoke fine art photoshoot session is thoughtfully crafted to reflect your unique connection and the soulful presence of your beloved. I offer a truly one of a kind photography experience that transforms your story into heartfelt, lasting works of art.
Together, we capture more than images. We photograph and honour the unspoken bond and create visual legacies to cherish forever.
