Photos from day 1 of Lancaster and District Society show are all up.

It's not often an indoor arena offers such perfect light, but I love the images I got today, I hope you do too!

Do you prefer movement shots with just your dog, or with both you and your dog?

Love these two shots I got at Banbury a few weeks back, I love the reflection on the floor in the Husky photo and the white wall made a great backdrop in the Dobie shot. Indoors is sometimes difficult to work with due to lighting, but these turned out great!

I still have space in July and August forshows that need a photographer📸 Also taking bookings for September onwards and even 2027.

Why you should use Excelsior as your show’s photographer:

-No cost to the club
-High quality, unobtrusive photography
-Principal winner photos sent to the club *same day*
-Photos uploaded *same day*

I’m the only photographer I know that gets show photos uploaded the same day as the show, so you can announce your winners with professional photos, instead of phone pics.

I hate that I have to say this, but screenshotting images and asking AI to remove the watermarks is THEFT.

It’s hard work being an event photographer, I don’t know of any other job where you work long hours not knowing if you’ll even get paid.

I sat at the ESS club show for almost 7 hours yesterday, and then had several hours of uploading, sorting, and editing.

Only for someone to screenshot the images and feed them through AI, and then lie to me and say they’d paid and sent me a fake order confirmation email (straight out of ChatGPT, with all the wrong details, incorrect image pricing, galley names etc).

They said they’d been scammed but when I asked for proof of where they had been emailed these photos from, the email address, or order number, to stop it happening to anybody else, nothing was given.

This isn’t okay, it is theft. This is how I pay my bills and feed my own dogs. Only after I called them out did they pay; again, that’s not okay.

Please support your show photographers. I know times are tough, even just sharing a post or my link helps!

For everyone that has supported me over the last few weeks, I’m so incredibly grateful to you and I’m able to pay my mortgage this month because of you.

If anyone else would like to purchase images from recent shows, they can be seen here:

I have space for photoshoots this weekend either at Stafford showground alongside the National, or if you fancy venturing to Stafford Castle (where these images were taken) then we can get a bit more variety too 🥰
