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!

Happy Mailo
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"?)
Ah, yes, now you mention it...

That dog is like Maggie, the bull terrier, a 30 kilo lapdog I once knew! <3
These dogs don't usually exude such a loving expression in photos but this one's goes straight to the heart!
Oh, Mailo - diese Augen 😍 Ich kann nicht verstehen, wie viele Leute diese bildhübschen Hunde als hässlich bezeichnen können.
Ignorant Dancin'
Well, he is a dachshund... what do you expect?

I love this post, you can see each personality in each portrait & they all made me smile, wonderful work 👏
And now I remember that I even have a dog named Panda in my picture archives. Should have added him, too, as he's a real character. :-)
Oh, what a beauty. Thanks for sharing!

I lost my Rottweiler 2 wks ago...this post made me smile and made me sad. Thanks for posting this. :-\
Would so love to have a Corgi in my studio. I once photographed a super cute corgi mix. Will see if I can invite her to my studio again.

Such a talented and compassionate man. We need more like him <3
Love the photos! I am definitely the kind of person who sees the "beware of dog" signs and immediately says "where?!" The artist definitely captured the personalities of these dogs; and their eyes speak volumes! <3
It's a hard thing to get the joy out of a pet photo, but this person has done it. Well done!
Sad the post came to an end. Always wonderful to see pictures of dogs. And this certainly were lovely pictures!
