Local photographer Heather Ogg is focusing on pet photography. In addition to 17 years in Design Communications, Heather has been photographing since 1982. She is a passionate designer, photographer, musician, and animal-lover.
“Most people know me as a designer, but my photography experience goes even farther back starting in 1982, and my design style has always relied heavily on great photography,” comments Heather. “So I have officially launched Heather Ogg Photography specializing in landscape, people, event and particularly animal photography.”
Her love for animals, particularly dogs and horses, is naturally leading to a large portion of pet portraits in her portfolio. Before studying design, Heather worked as a veterinary assistant in Dorval and had aspirations of becoming a trainer with Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. However she decided to pursue design and photography and couldn’t be happier that animals are now playing such a large role in her business.
“Photographing dogs is not graceful work. You’re either crawling on the floor dragging lights around, or up to your butt in snow.” She laughs. “But it gives us a keepsake of a cherished family member we only get to enjoy for a little while during our lifetime.”
Heather’s work will be on display at the Lakeside Art Festival being held at the Saint Bruno United Church in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Quebec on Saturday January 26, 2008 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Admission is $8.00.
Heather grew up in Montreal, Canada, where she studied Creative Arts, Illustration & Design, and Photography. She has worked in design studios as well as in corporate environments, and now runs her own Creative Design & Photography business; Updriven Productions, located on Montreal’s south shore in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Quebec.
