Photographing dogs of all shapes and sizes is usually an entertaining job.
It's most certainly a nice challenge that brings a smile to my face.

ALASKAN MALAMUTE
Apart from undisputedly being the biggest, it's definately also the most enduring, strongest, toughest, cutest and most intelligent sled dog in the world.
A lot of positive statements have been made regarding the charismatic and photogenic Alaskan Malamutes by a lot of people, and of course I concur with the above statements.
However, I am as biased as can be, having lived with a pack of these loveable guys for more than a decade.
It's fair to say they stole my heart.
Dog Photographer of the Year
2014
I finished third in the world's largest dog photography competition, the esteemed English Kennel Club's annual Dog Photographer of the Year 2014.
Competing with 13.000 photos submitted from 60 countries, I won 3. place in the category "Dogs at Work" with my action photo of a bunch of amazing, hard-working huskies, striding across the frozen tundra in icy Lapland.
I shot the picture north of the Arctic Circle at Fjällräven's 300 km long Polar Sled Dog Race.
Apart from the 3. place in the category "Dogs at Work" my 4 other photos submitted, made it through the selection process and were all by the judges characterized as "runner-ups" to the winning images.
