There is beauty in the bonding between man and dog. An unconditional connection that not only enriches our lives but also gives us a more profound sense of purpose. I’d like to believe that this is also why dogs have been integrated in our society so well, because while teaching them, we learn to understand…

Headrock Dogs – Part 5: The Old Couple Project

It’s been quite a ride here at Headrock’s. To every solution there seem to arise more problems. Just taking care of dogs in need won’t change the situation at heart. That’s why to me, this project is what matters the most. This old couple and grandson do care. With the little things they have, they…

Headrock Dogs – Part 4: The Temple

A trip to the temple is rarely just a simple trip to the temple, where Verity and Tep weekly go to monitor the dogs who are being sheltered by the monks. It’s often combined with commitments to other ongoing projects as well: treating the dogs at a local school, offer advice to a man with…

Headrock Dogs – Part 3: Puppy Rescue

One of the awful things is that people would dump puppies nearby the shelter, assuming that Headrock Dogs would just take them in. The same thing often happens at the nearby temple.

Headrock Dogs – Part 1: Hands

As a dog photographer I want people to remember their companions at their most vivid moments. Running freely with barks of joy; shaking off the excitement; wrestling with playmates; or just go for that one so irresistible mud bath. I always liked the idea to enframe this in a natural environment where canine instincts and…

Iberean Wolf Recovery Centre in Portugal (photo documentary)

I spent 3 weeks at the Iberian Wolf Recovery Centre in Portugal. As a volunteer worker I helped out in general forest maintenance, feeding & road repairing. It never felt like work though. (except for my aching back, that I felt) (images of me below, they were taken by my good friend Hélder, an amazing photographer with a…
