The Making of "My best friend, Buckley"

How the winning photo of the "Pets" contest was made

By Katja in Photo Contests on Jul 31, 2023

"My best friend, Buckley"

I am a photographer who specialises in business portraits and commercial photographpy.

I've always been fascinated by black-and-white documentary-style photography since I was young and living in the Czech Republic. But I still need to figure out how to make money from this type of photography.

Last year, I started a photography project where I tell stories through my pictures. These stories might be about a cause or show the world and its people from my unique perspective.
