My name is Elke Vogelsang aka Wieselblitz, I’m a commercial and editorial photographer from Germany. After a very stressful time in life, I decided to change my life for the better and become a professional photographer. I’m absolutely crazy about dogs. Thankfully, as a photographer specializing in dog portraiture, I'm now in the very lucky position to make a living from hanging out with dogs. A dream come true.

It never ceases to amaze me how unique every single dog is. Each and every one of them has its very special character, quirks, and personality. I try to portrait this in my pictures.

You might have come across my series of skeptical dogs, questioning the photographer's sanity. The series "Dogsonality" is an extension to this series adding numerous other facial expressions and moods a dog might show or we might interpret as such.

It's an ongoing project, so stay tuned for more as I never tire exploring the quirkiness and cuteness of our best friends. Enjoy!

    That's funny, many terriers in my neighbourhood were named "Mailo" a couple of years ago... And they had the same vigorous looks on their faces. Almost everything was the same for these dogs... Except for the fact that they were not bull terriers but jack russell terriers(who remembers Mailo from "The Mask"?)
