Nigel Costen is the Guild of Photographers award-winning professional photographer behind Natural Dog Photography specialising in dog portraiture, photographing dogs in their natural environment, the great outdoors. Nigel is based in Higham, Rochester, Kent but happy to travel within a 30 mile radius.

Nigel photographs dogs exclusively in outdoor settings where dogs and their owners are most relaxed using only natural light. Not only do the dogs enjoy it far more, so does Nigel and will capture beautiful portraits of your four-legged friend and some amazing action shots of your dog having fun.

Whether on the beach, in the woods or on a windswept hillside, a session can be arranged to suit your taste and your dog's preferred environment.

Nigel at Natural Dog Photography can then create beautiful pieces of art to feature on your walls or in your albums. From a standard print right up to huge canvases and wall-art, there is a package to suit your requirements.
