2021 International Pet Photographer of the Year Results
2021 OVERALL WINNER
INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL PET PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR
Veronika Šandorová | Ve Shandor Photography - Slovakia
Veronika lives and breathes for dogs, adventure and photography. Her passion for dog photography started with her first dog, Nabu. She says “I quickly realized that I need lots of dogs around me and also I need to cuddle with every dog I meet.” She made that happen three years ago when she professional dog photographer, right after her most recent dog joined her family, Jada. Her passion grew more and more as her border collies did, and she realized she want to make other people as happy as she is when I am looking at pictures of them. Her goal is to capture the uniqueness of each dog and transfer our love for them into photos.
