Nick Ridley Photography

Nick Ridley, a seasoned professional dog photographer with over 30 years of experience, established one of the most esteemed dog event photography businesses in the country in 1998. With an impressive portfolio of over 45,000 dog-related images taken in 2018 alone, Nick has captured dogs in their natural environment and at prestigious events such as Crufts.

Nick's background as an Inspector for a well-known animal charity for 12 years has equipped him with the skills to work with anxious and difficult animals. His top priority is the well-being and care of any animal before taking a photograph. While Nick is renowned for his dog photography, he has also worked with cats, horses, and other small domestic animals for commercial clients, including pet food manufacturers and book publishers.

In 2010, Nick pioneered dog photography courses in the UK and has since expanded his courses to Scandinavia and various locations across the UK. He is the author of two books on photographing dogs and domestic pets and has published two coffee table books, "Labradors. At Work, Rest and Play" and "Spaniels, " which have become international bestsellers. Nick is also the gundog editor for the Sporting Gun magazine and regularly contributes to other publications. He has undertaken commissions worldwide and has made numerous radio and television appearances.
