Photographer Spotlight: Sharon Montrose

This week's photographer spotlight features the work of Sharon Montrose. 

Sharon Montrose is a highly sought-after commercial photographer who specializes in working with animals.

 

Her online gallery and store feature a number of pet, farm, and wildlife photos. Many are taken in a studio setting with a simple white or colored background that emphasizes the animal.

Others, especially those of cats or dogs, are done out on location.

Montrose has an amazing ability to capture the movement and expression of the animals in her work.

 

The combination of color, shadows and highlights, and the actual subjects themselves, work together in these photographs to create an incredible sense of intimacy and even playfulness.

All of the photos you have seen here today are unnamed pieces that I especially liked.
