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...
Load More Replies...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?
Yes, that might also be a good description. But he also ignored everything I tried to motivate him to look into my camera. Funny guy.

Linus - Stepped On A Lego
And IIIIIIIiiiiiIIIIIIIiiiiiIIII will always love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
This picture could convince even the most sceptical of sceptics that evolution and selection (natural or people's) is real and that dogs, especially collies descended from wolves.
Just kidding about collies. They are no different than any other dog. But still, look how wolf-like Linus is!

He's 13 years already. Doesn't look and act like it at all. Super cute dog.
They say age is just a number. Our cat is a senior, but at times you wouldn't tell :D

wow. thank you for providing the world with your gift. it has made a mark in my heart.
I really enjoy photographing the dogs at my local shelter. After seeing these, I'm inspired to kick it up a notch !!!
This is a bit of an unusual picture for her. She's a very eager poser.
Not So Pleased Ernie
I'm sorry for whatever I have done even though I don't now what I have done!!
Load More Replies...Beagles look very "judging" all the time. It's a clever disguise for how affectionate they really are!
Ernie has an agenda to get on with and you make him stop for a picture.
Ernie: "Listen, punk, I've been around, seen things you wouldn't believe. Take the picture and let's get this done already. I ain't got time for you! I've got to check my lotto numbers!"

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!
