I’m Chris Miller, and I’m a leading UK dog photographer with a passion for capturing the true personality of every dog I photograph.
From puppies to dogs having fun to senior dogs, the “Motivational Dog Quotes” photo series captures the true character of each canine paired with a famous motivational dog quote.
Photographed with the intent to have fun and capture the true personality and character of a dog, each image is natural and often cute at the same time.
This is an original photo series launched on Bored Panda. These portraits of dogs with a corresponding motivational dog quote might make you smile and hopefully even laugh.

“No Matter How Many Years We Get With Our Dogs, It’s Never Long Enough”
One of my most passionate aims as a dog photographer is to capture the true personality of every dog that I photograph. Using only natural light in the dog’s familiar surroundings, I decided to pair up each specific photo with a meaningful and heartfelt motivational dog quote. I feel privileged to photograph dogs, and believe that all dogs deserve their story to be told through photography.
Photography is my passion, pets are our life. I love nothing more than capturing that unique emotional connection and deep, unconditional love between an owner and their dog. With so many fantastic motivational dog quotes available, it has been a delight to connect them together.

As I love collating my photographs and pairing them with often famous quotes attributed to the original author where possible, you can expect more “Motivational Dog Quotes” series in the future, helping all dog lovers laugh and smile together.

As a child, I only have one photograph of me with my first dog Jenny, a rescue greyhound. I want to make sure that all dog lovers have at least one professional photograph of their dog that they can treasure forever.

Anyone can take a photograph of a dog with their phone camera, and I encourage everyone to keep doing that. I love taking photographs of a dog’s true personality and character, and that special connection that you can get through the eyes of a dog. I pride myself in connecting with their soul through many of my on-location natural light portrait photography. Action photography is great fun, and whilst technically challenging, it is fulfilling when I can produce another great Dogs In Action photograph – of a dog being a dog.
I tend to take most of my photographs in Windsor Great Park in the UK and the surrounding forests around Ascot, where the dogs can enjoy their own magical experience.

For most dog lovers, their dog means the world to them. I want to give a voice to dogs and tell their story through photography. Whether it’s a dog in rescue, or a dog simply having fun with their owners, all dogs deserve their stories to be told. I enjoy creating magical experiences for dogs and their owners in natural environments like parks and forests.
