This is me, Andrew Raven Richardson, London-based, International Canine Portrait Artist, the London Dog Photographer. (Along with my pup, Jack Jack.)

I’m so grateful for you being here.

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.

Every portrait triggers emotion, provokes feelings of love and transports us to that precise moment.

Your intimate moments, treasured.

Because every single paw is unique, their portrait sessions, whether a London or international dog photoshoot, deserves to be treated with the individuality it deserves.

Wellness

Each photoshoot experience is approached with a momentous understanding and genuine gentleness, underpinned by my canine first aid training. This ensures your dog's health, comfort, trust, needs, and safety are prioritised above all else. My years of invaluable experience volunteering in kennels have provided me with a unique insight into the needs of even the most anxious or reactive dogs. My fine art, family dog photography sessions are deeply personal, intimate, respectful, and joyful. Thoughtfully crafted to reflect the distinctive character, uniqueness, and profound connection you share with your soul dog. This commitment ensures a truly one-of-a-kind photography experience, wherever you are in the world.

Kind Words That Stay With Me

Heartfelt reflections from those who’ve shared their story through my lens

Yoshie & Kuma

“We cannot thank Andrew enough for the gorgeous photos he has taken of our pup Kuma! If you are looking for the BEST photographer to capture breathtakingly beautiful photos of your pup, we highly recommend Raven Imagery! We had the opportunity to meet Andrew for a mini-shoot at a dog event and was blown away by the portraits he has taken for us. This was our very first on-location photoshoot and was utterly clueless but Andrew was such a calming force, we enjoyed going with the flow as he gave us kind directions. Andrew is phenomenal at capturing the personality of your dog but also the owners. I was not planning to be in any of the photos but he captured a very special moment of myself with Kuma which I am forever grateful!
We were mesmerized when we saw the proofs and cannot be happier of the final images we have received of Kuma. It is truly a work of art which we will treasure forever! Andrew’s professionalism, passion, love for dogs, and execution is beyond words. We had such a wonderful time and cannot wait to do our family photoshoot with Andrew next year!”
Julie & The B's.

“We have worked with Andrew a couple of times and he is just amazing at what he does! He is extremely patient and calm, our dogs love him! He definitely has a way with dogs and you can tell he truly loves them. His photos are simply beautiful. You couldn’t really ask for a better experience during the photo shoot or more stunning results afterwards. We’ve worked with him in his studio and on location, both are fabulous. Do yourself a favour and book! He’s just magic behind the lens.”
Elissa & Jasper

“I would 100% recommend Andrew for any dog photography. We had a wonderful experience both during the photo session at Covent Garden and post session when ordering a wonderful collage of images that now sits proudly on our wall. Andrew not only takes great shots and is a consummate professional, but he genuinely loves dogs and is great when working with them.”
Hilda & Gizmo

“We booked Gizmo’s first ever shoot with Andrew back in December, and of course it had to be Andrew’s beautiful Christmas shoot. He was a dream to work with, was clear with instructions for us (given we are novices in front of camera), was super patient, chose all the iconic backdrop to photos and, as a result captured so many beautiful shots. We had THE best time shooting with Andrew and the only difficult part of it all was to narrow down the number of photos we want in our Christmas album. All the shots were superb! Highly recommend Andrew, he’s a true professional and just the nicest person I know. We will always have Andrew in mind for photoshoot.”
Mia & Izzy

‘Andrew was absolutely brilliant. He was incredibly professional yet approachable and friendly. It was like taking a walk with a friend during our meet-up for an outdoor photo session. He was patient, receptive and understanding with our dogs (whom at times weren't as cooperative as we'd hope!) as well as with our requests in every stage of the whole experience.
We were blown away by the finished products; the photos were amazing (he turned a foggy morning in the woods into a work of art!) and the products and their presentations were of the highest quality. So, so impressed.
Thank you Andrew for truly capturing the essence and characters of our dogs and the personalisation and quality of service throughout the whole process.’
Natalie & Kenji

“I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew as a canine photographer. He is not only incredibly kind, but his intuitive vision brings his art to life. What sets Andrew apart is his exceptional understanding and connection with dogs, which shines through in his unique and delightful photography style. I've had the pleasure of working with Andrew on numerous occasions, from capturing Kenji's birthday party to commercial shoots and even a heartfelt mother and son photo session. Each time, I've been left in awe of his work. Andrew's meticulous attention to detail and his creative eye truly make him stand out in the world of canine photography.”
Su-Yin & Otto

“Andrew has taken many photographs of Otto over the years and we love every single one of them. He’s extremely patient, clearly loves his subjects, and manages to capture their personality wonderfully - not quite sure how he does this so consistently. He is also a genuinely lovely person. We would recommend him in a heartbeat and are very grateful for all the wonderful memories he has captured for us!”
