Feedback

For many of us, pet ownership is a big part of our modern urbanised life. It's become commonplace to see pets out and about in cities and suburbs. Incorporating interesting architecture can add a sense of time and place to our images resulting in more meaningful and widely appreciated art that your clients will love to share.

For the City Slicker challenge, we sent our Embark students out to photograph pets in urban locations, making sure images had a sense of place, but that the location did not become the primary subject of the image, the dog/pet was still to be the star of the show.

We had a fantastic standard of submissions, clearly demonstrating progress and growth since Embark 2025 began, well done everyone.

Challenge Brief

Photograph the subject in a man-made environment, paying special attention to showing features of the location – either large or small – to create an urban feel. As always, the pet should be the main star of the shot, with the location playing a supporting role.
