My name is Al Bunyan and I would like to welcome you to my coffee table website.

I’m a qualified pet photographer with a lifelong passion for animals and the outdoors. Photography brings together two of the things I love most: capturing the character, connection of our companions and celebrating the beauty of natural landscapes.

My background as an experienced animal trainer and behaviour specialist gives me a unique understanding of the animals I photograph. I hold a BSc in Applied Canine Behaviour and Training, along with national certificates in Animal Psychology, Companion Animal Welfare and Behavioural Rehabilitation, and Advanced Instructing Techniques.

My work with dogs began in the 1980s in the British Army, and since then animals have been at the heart of my professional life working predominantly in animal rescue and rehabilitation. Over the years, I have presented internationally on dog behaviour and training and sharing practical expertise in humane handling and capture techniques of street dogs in several different countries including Bosnia, Portugal, Romania, Thailand, Bali and Africa.

I have also competed at the highest level in Working Trials, considered to be one of the UK’s hardest dog sports with several dogs. At home I now share my life with two adopted colliedogs, Fenrir and Ulfř.

As a Certified Training Partner with the Karen Pryor Clicker Academy, I take a calm, patient and reward-based approach to every session. Whether I’m photographing a lively young dog, a thoughtful senior companion or a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor adventure, my aim is always to create natural images that reflect each animal’s true personality and the beauty of the environment we live in.
