Fine Art Pet Photography in Switzerland

What Services Are On Offer At Mont Blanc Photography

Fine art pet photography is not about documenting what an animal looks like.
It is about honouring who they are — with intention, sensitivity, and enduring craftsmanship.

This service is designed for clients across Switzerland and Europe who are seeking museum-quality animal portraits, created with respect for the animal and finished to gallery standards.

A Considered, Individual Approach

Every animal is different.
For that reason, fine art pet photography in Switzerland must be approached as a bespoke process, not a template.

Each commission begins with careful consultation, allowing me the necessary time to understand:

• The animal’s temperament and sensitivities

• The relationship between animal and their special pet parent

• The environment that best reflects their character

Sessions are never rushed and are paced entirely around the animal’s comfort.

This approach is essential for creating authentic, emotionally resonant portraits.

Working With Dogs, Horses, and Cats

This fine art pet photography service encompasses a range of species, each requiring a distinct understanding and methodology.

• Dogs — including nervous, reactive, or highly sensitive dogs

• Horses — where trust, safety, and environmental awareness are paramount

• Cats — whose independence and sensitivity demands patience, adaptability and someone who truly understands cat behaviour.

Rather than forcing animals into predetermined poses, the process allows expression to emerge naturally. I use toys, games, novel experiences, familiar toys from home, all to help your animal feel 100% at ease, at all times.

I have undertaken studies at the University of Edinburgh on animal behaviour, simply because I want to assure I have the necessary skills, knowledge and deep understanding to help animals I work with be the most calm, confident and best versions of themselves.

This is a defining characteristic of Mont Blanc’s fine art animal photography.

Switzerland as a Natural Canvas

Switzerland offers an extraordinary range of natural environments — from alpine landscapes to quiet, secluded locations.

These settings are not used as backdrops, but as integral elements of the artwork, chosen to complement the animal rather than overwhelm it.

Location selection is guided by:

• Light quality

• Seasonality

• Accessibility for the animal

• Emotional tone of the final artwork

• Our work will be collaborative, so make sure to tell all about your wishes when we have our first consultation call.

From Image to Artwork: Gallery-Level Print Standards

A defining element of luxury pet photography in Switzerland and Mont Blanc Photography is the commitment to exceptional print quality.

Final artworks are produced exclusively through select artisanal print laboratories in Europe, each rigorously tested and pre-vetted to ensure:

• Archival materials

• Exceptional tonal depth

• Accurate, stable colour reproduction

• Longevity measured in decades, not years

Every piece is designed as a physical artwork — not a disposable digital asset, or a jpg that get’s lost as you change your devices. Mont Blanc Photography’s art work is designed to last and provide you with special memories for decades to come.

A Service Designed for Clients Who Value Craftsmanship

Clients who choose fine art pet photography are often:

• Commissioning portraits of aging or once-in-a-lifetime companions

• Seeking artwork that will live in their home for generations

• Willing to travel across Switzerland or Europe for the right artist

This service is intentionally limited in availability to maintain quality, attention, and integrity. My business is designed around the client experience, and even more so around the animal’s well being. For this reason alone, I will never be a high volume photographer, instead I concentrate on each individual animal’s personal needs and take the time that’s required to make sure they’re fully at ease, and never rushed.

Geographic Scope

This fine art pet photography service is based in Switzerland and available to clients throughout:

• Switzerland

• The Swiss Alps

• Nearby European regions

Clients regularly travel significant distances to commission work when quality, trust, and artistic alignment matter more than proximity. I regularly have clients who travel a 14hr round trip, to visit my studio and commission fine art prints of their beloved dogs. Certain clients will come across from France and the German borders to commission a photoshoot with me.

A Note on Fine Art Prints

In addition to commissioned portrait work, a curated selection of fine art animal images is available as collectible prints through a dedicated fine art platform.

This separation ensures that commissioned work remains personal and bespoke, while select pieces exist as independent artworks. Please see my fine art print works for sale on: HeatherEnnis.art

Is This Service the Right Fit?

Fine art pet photography is not for everyone.

It is best suited to clients who:

• Value patience and process

• Respect the animal as an individual

• Appreciate understated, timeless artistry

• Seek physical artwork with lasting presence, not just digitals.

For those clients, the result is more than a portrait — it is a legacy
