when Ryan Visima — social media guru and blogger for Blacks — contacted me regarding an interview for Black’s website about pet photography i could hardly say ‘no’, even though — like a lot of photographers — i prefer to remain on the safe-side of any camera.
hope you enjoy it.
and a special thank you / shout-out to Heather Windsor for recommending scruffy dog to Ryan for the series. if you’re not already familiar with Heather’s stunning wedding and portrait work, do check out her website. when a recommendation comes from someone you’ve never met, it’s an even greater honour. so, thank you, Heather!

Holly Garner-JacksonGreat interview illona!
Hard to believe you get down and dirty rolling on the ground to get a lot of your shots! LOL! You clean up well! ;-P
You never cease to amaze me with your work, and of course your co-stars have taught you everything you know!
Susan HumphreysHi Illona, Great to see you in front of the camera. Of course your two
‘co-stars’ were wonderful too.!

RachelLoved seeing this interview, thank you so much for posting it! Your pet photography is truly inspiring and any little tips and tidbits you share are pearls of wisdom, in my eyes.
Also loved how doting your two dogs are two each other! Snuggling each other, snuggling you! 🙂
MarlaExcellent interview, Illona. loved your two lazy hams too 😉
Cliff (parker) Willithat was nice..perfect in every way.

Marci LiroffSO great to see you IN FRONT of the camera and with such ease and grace!
LOVED how the dogs are draped over each other and you!
LyndaWonderful interview – you looked and sounded great! I love how they showed some of your photos during the interview, some really nice ones.
But I have to say, Merrick stole the show – starting when he laid his chin on Matea’s neck, and from then on I had a hard time taking my eyes of the little cutie!
JenniferGreat job! Love that my favorite photo of Matea is right behind you…and by the way did you sedate your dogs for this interview? 🙂 LOL! Sleepy pups!
