There is a particular kind of tired that only comes from spending three days on your knees in a Perthshire field, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

The Scottish Game Fair has come and gone again, and I've spent the days since going through every frame — reliving the head tilts, the mud, the triumphant retrieves, and at least one dog who decided the best possible use of my lens was as something to lick.

If I photographed your dog at the Fair: the gallery is now live, and your photos are waiting for you.

What I saw from down there

People sometimes ask why I photograph dogs from the ground. The honest answer is that's where they live. Photograph a dog from standing height and you get the top of a head and an obliging glance upward. Get down to their level and wait, and you get them — the particular way their ears lift at a whistle, the stillness before the run, the soft eyes when they lean into the person they love.

The Game Fair is a gift for this kind of photography, because everyone there loves their dogs quietly and without fanfare. Working gundogs standing patient at heel. Terriers with opinions. Family dogs having the best day of their year. Over three days I met hundreds of them, and I can tell you with professional certainty: they were all very good dogs.

How to find your dog

Everything from all three days now lives in one big gallery on the website. Here's how it works:

1. Sign in with your email address — that's all it takes to open the gallery.
2. Browse the three days of the Fair and find your dog. Start with the day you visited.
3. Download as many low-resolution images as you like — completely free. They're perfectly sized for your phone, for sharing with family, and for social media.

One small note on those free downloads: they're for personal use only. Share them, enjoy them, send them to the grandparents but they can't be used commercially or reproduced for sale, and copyright stays with Wolfe & Fox Photography. If you post them online, a tag is always lovely; I like seeing where the dogs end up.

The gallery won't stay online forever, so do have a look sooner rather than later.

When a moment deserves more than a screen

The free downloads are sized for screens and screens, if we're honest, are where photographs go to get buried under four thousand others.

Some of the moments I caught at the Fair deserve better than that. If one of them stopped you  if it's exactly his face when he wants a biscuit, or the way she flies over rough ground like it's nothing high-resolution files and fine-art prints from the gallery are available. Every piece is printed by a family-run lab in Glasgow with thirty years of craft behind it: wall art, matted prints, pieces made to be handed down rather than scrolled past.

And if you found yourself wanting more

A fair-day photograph is one moment, caught on the move. A full Wolfe & Fox session is all of them an unhurried hour or two at your dog's favourite place, no props and no forced posing, ending a few weeks later with artwork on your walls that says that's them every time you pass it.

I take on a small number of families each year, deliberately, and I'm now booking for Summer 2026. If you're curious what that could look like for your dog, the free discovery call is exactly the place to start twenty minutes, no obligation, just a conversation about your favourite subject and mine.

Thank you, truly, to everyone who stopped by at the Fair for the chats, the biscuit recommendations, and above all for trusting me with your dogs, however briefly. It is genuinely the best job in the world.

Time is fleeting. Portraits are forever.
