Haron's Photography Journey

Haron Haghuis

Founder of Art of Dog Photography. A Dutch photographer with a love for animals, a passion for art and an addiction to shooting my lenses wide open. I live with my Border Collie Milo. My personal, sometimes slightly reluctant model.

Seven years ago, I started bugging Milo with posing requests and camera antics. Considering I'd been working in Adobe Photoshop since I was 14 (assuming Photoshopping lightsabers into family photos counts) I realized I could turn Milo's photos into something more artistic.

Seeing how wonderful the response to these images was, I decided to start my journey in pet photography. I’ve since developed my personal shooting style and post-processing methods to create fine-art portrait work of beloved pets, focusing mostly on natural light dog photography.

Five years ago, upon multiple requests, I started teaching my techniques to fellow photographers. Today, I have personally taught more than 150 students and share my methods in workshops and my Masterclass program.

Since 2021, I'm also proud to call myself an Adobe instructor & featured artist. In Lightroom you'll find a number of the tutorials I've created for last year's big update.

In order to reach, guide and better coach my students and photographers wanting to specialize in the craft, I've founded the Art of Photography and its community.
