From creating masterpieces in the kitchen, to enjoying the freedom of cruising on a Harley, who’d have thought photography would become one of my passions? I’m an animal loving, tattooed, easy going kind of bloke. What started with taking photos of buildings with an iPhone, has turned into Sunday morning sunrises and Wednesday afternoon sunsets, with many other creations in between. My latest camera, the Nikon D7500, is now packed and ready to roll at a moment’s notice. We’re all told to look outside the box to be creative – but with photography, it’s what you fit in that box that tells the story.

I know that creating the perfect pet portrait doesn’t come by chance. It takes a real professional who understands composition and lighting – and the patience and talent to work with animals that don’t always want to cooperate. Since 2004, when I got gifted my first ever camera, I’ve come to love photography and in 2019, when my dog “Nala” entered my life, I discovered my passion of working with furry friends. I adore all types of pets and animals – dogs, cats, horses, all your furry, fluffy or scaly pets. If you’re ready to capture a special moment in your pet’s life so you can relive it over and over again.

Photographer by day, artist by night, I love creating new things and being immersed in the beautiful world around us. I’ve been a photographer since I was young, taking photos of whatever caught my eye. My favourite subjects include wildlife, flowers and, of course, people.

I’ve always loved making stories and I find it wonderful to be able to bring those stories to life through art. Digital art is my preferred medium but I love being able to colour in with my markers and paint with watercolours.

Manhunt K9, a fun easy pace sport with your dog.

Mantrailing is a sport teaching dogs to find people by following their unique scent trail. All dog’s have a natural ability to hunt and therefore Mantrailing provides them with an outlet to do this in a safe, controlled and constructive way.

We teach them how to harness their amazing sense of smell and turn it into a super fun activity for pet dog and owner teams to do together as a sport for fun.

Mantrailing is a specialised technique in the field of search and rescue training that utilizes the extraordinary olfactory abilities of dogs to track and locate missing individuals. It is an advanced form of scent detection, where highly trained dogs follow the specific scent of a particular person by sniffing out the unique odour molecules that each individual leaves behind. 

Mantrailing requires the dog to work closely with their human handler, picking up on subtle scent cues, and following the trail left by the individual from the point they were last seen. This method is commonly employed in locating lost hikers, missing persons, and even in forensic investigations. Mantrailing is not only an intricate and methodical process; it is an incredible testament to the incredible capabilities and partnership between humans and their K9 counterparts.

It is important to remember that Manhunt K9 specialises in pet and sport dog Mantrailing. We do not teach or are involved in operational search and rescue training or real life searches.
