Chris says that Barking! is his quirky take on our best friends and adds that the great thing about taking pictures of them is that they never complain. “ Barking! depicts mutts and pedigrees in all shapes and sizes from New York to Paris to Skegness and, of course, my home town of Peterborough,” says the photographer. “I frequently cut off the owners to give the dogs a center-stage. However, at times I will keep the owner in, to show the intimate relationship with their best friends.”

Chris revealed that sometimes capturing the perfect photo can take quite a few attempts. “I went back to Barking in London three times to try and achieve the image I wanted. There was a distinct shortage of dogs there and I waited many hours outside the Barking Dog and Spotted Dog pubs waiting for a dog to snap,” said the photographer. “I waited so long next to the ‘Welcome to Barking’ sign on Barking Station that I was approached by security as I obviously looked suspicious. They were happy when I told them I was a trainspotter!”
