I have been working on a book over the last 18 months called Tails of Canberra. This book is part of the Tails of the World™ Collective, an international group of professional pet photographers, each celebrating our local dogs with special edition Tails of . . . coffee table books. One of the places featured in the Tails of Canberra is Civic and Braddon. 

Civic and Braddon is the Central Business District (CBD) of Canberra, the capital city of Australia. The great thing is that the city is reasonably dog friendly, in particular the Braddon area where there are lots of cafe and a dog-friendly park nearby.

Dash is such a cute border collie and was so good when we went out to photograph in Civic. Dash is one of the dogs that's featured in the Tails of Canberra book. Being the city centre, it does get quite busy so can be quite distracting for dogs. However, Dash wasn't phased at all and was so good throughout the whole session. Photographing dogs in Civic is quite fun as you get a different backdrop to the usual green and nature I photograph in. There's lots of graffitis in alley ways in the city so we decided to feature these in our urban photos.
