I started volunteering as a photographer at the Brampton animal shelter because I wanted to find a way to give back to the community. Animals of all kinds have been a huge part of my life, I photograph them hoping to give them and their owners the same happiness I’ve experienced in my life.
I began photographing at the Brampton Animal Shelter in the Summer of 2015. My first experience was amazing, the staff and animals are so friendly and welcoming. My very first subject was a tabby cat named Timmy, he was camera shy at first but was soon striking poses for me. My favourite place at the shelter is the kitten room, the kittens are spontaneous and speedy which makes them a challenge to photograph.
I would recommend this position for anyone who has a passion for photography and animals, it’s such a rewarding experience.
