Paul Walker

In his professional career, Paul Walker has photographed most animals so often categorised as a “pet” from horses, cats and dogs through to rabbits, guinea pigs and those trouser climbing “pole cats”. A self professed animal lover, his passion for photographing our animal companions began at an early age in his childhood with subjects including his pet duck, various dogs and cats and a series of rabbits and guinea pigs.

Today Paul’s animal and pet photography is well known and highly regarded all across the UK and beyond. Indeed in 2007 Paul’s work captured the attention of the Ilex Press who commissioned him to write a book called ‘Pet Photography Now’. In March 2008 Paul also won the “Animal and Pets” title in the MPA Scotland awards. This followed a string of other awards for his pet photography attained since turning professional.

Paul has met some of his greatest challenges through his animal and pet photography assignments and has invested a great deal of time observing and understanding the psychology and behaviour patterns of pets. His pet work can be found under the brand of Paws Pet Photography, with the accompanying website at www.pawspetphotography.co.uk.

Paul Walker has an Exhibition here.
