I'm an Ontario-based animal photographer Illona Haus of scruffy dog photography. BLOW is the unique and sometimes hilarious photo series. This artistic series explores the fun and captivating ways in which dogs interact with the wind generated by an antique fan.
As a busy pet-exclusive photographer, working with private and commercial clients globally, this project has been three years in the making. The idea was sparked after seeing my own dog, Merrick's, beautiful coat blowing in the wind of a fan one hot summer day. I spent months searching for the perfect fan, then gave it a fresh paint job, and began the process securing the absolute best models.
It was important to me that this project be creative and artistic, and that each dog's photo session with the fan be unique. It had to be more than simply walking each dog up to a full-speed fan and photographing their blowing hair. I was after 'engagement' and individual personality... exploring how each dog was reacting to and engaging with the blowing air, and also how their hair was affected by the wind.
I hope you’ll enjoy the variety of faces and characters, as well as their individual engagements with the blowing fan. What follows is merely a sampling of the amazing models who worked with me on this project.

Heidi loved attention and having her picture taken. She was between 17 and 20 in this photo; paralyzed for over 10 years, but never handicapped. Thank you Illona for giving my girl a great day and for the memories I now have.

All of the photos are brilliant but this ... wow! This is what I look like when I first get that cool breeze of a fan on my face on a hot day. It's called ... relief. Love it.

She was between 17 and 20 in this photo and passed a few days after this session. We knew her health was failing, but I can say she was happy and well loved to the very end. She enjoyed her day with Illona.
