Photographer Dylan Collard spent 18 months exploring people’s domestic relationship with their dogs – sometimes, lots of dogs!
Dylan Collard is a London based, award winning advertising photographer who shoots environmental and studio portraiture. He also regularly works on personal projects, the last one taking him around both the US and UK shooting portraits of over 250 people for Ages Of Us.
His work has been included in the National Portrait Gallery’s Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize several times as well as multiple appearances in publications like the Portrait of Britain, Creative Review, BJP and Communication Arts. He also has work in the V&A’s permanent photographic archive.
Much of Dylan’s work involves shooting real people on location using beautiful lighting and detail to convey a sense of narrative about his subject. His work has a sense of space and composition that encourages the audience to explore the image to uncover hidden detail and meaning.
Dylan is also a keen dog owner and trainer. He has two of his own dogs Amos and Edie who he has worked in both Working Trails and Competitive Obedience. He also regularly helps other (usually new) dogs owners train their dogs, passing on some of the experience he has gained working with some of the UK’s best dog trainers over the last 12 years.
