Jessica McGovern
That Tog Spot, England
As an international multi-award-winning photographer, Jessica McGovern shoots and retouches a wide variety of work from pet portraits to commercial campaigns, headshots to framed fine-art collectables.
Titled heavily across pet, dog and equine photography, her eagle eye, which has given her the critiquing name ""Picky Patricia"", is useful for pinpointing errors, mistakes or areas of improvement across any style of work, at any level. Home for Jessica is East Yorkshire, in England, with four dogs, a husband, and a horse called Tuna.
