As both a photographer and a director at SpinKick Pictures, I approach every portrait with a narrative vision. My recent session with Lauren Ephrat, the innovative mind behind DOGISTRY, a luxury pet accessories brand, was a vivid chapter in this ongoing creative story.

DOGISTRY is not just a company; it's a beacon of innovation and style in the pet industry, recognized nationally with accolades like Oprah's Best Dog Walking Set and multiple features in VOGUE. Capturing Lauren was about more than her as an individual—it was about embodying the spirit of her brand through a single frame.

In this portrait session, I infused my directorial perspective to capture not just a person, but a story. I looked for that moment, that angle, that expression that speaks volumes beyond the visual. It's about capturing the essence of who Lauren is as an entrepreneur—her dedication, her innovation, and how she has elevated the pet lifestyle experience through her brand.

The relationship between photographer and subject is deeply collaborative. It's about mutual respect and understanding, striving to reflect the essence of the subject’s identity and mission. My goal is to reveal the story behind the persona, to find that narrative thread that connects their professional achievements with their personal journey.

This process is a creative journey for both of us, where through the art of photography, we explore the path of business and entrepreneurship. Each session is an opportunity to learn and grow, to push creative boundaries, and to capture a portrait that is as much about the story as it is about the person. At SpinKick Pictures, we’re more than just photographers—we are storytellers, helping our clients become the best versions of themselves, one portrait at a time.
