Piece description from the artist
"Dash" (Dachshund)
Did I tie balloons to this dog to make him fly?
Did I snap this picture as he floated by?
I did – but I actually took 2 photos – one with balloons in the sky and one with the owner holding his 3lb wirehaired Dachshund over his head. Many of my images are composites of several photos that I spend hours and hours combining in Photoshop. My goal is to always make my photos look believable. When someone is looking at my art, and asks me “How did do you that?” I take it as a huge compliment!
Ron’s love of photography started at age 9 with an old camera that his Uncle Russ gave him for Christmas. That day, a passion was born. He snapped his first dog photo of his collie Nicki and he hasn’t stopped taking pictures since.
Ron's whimsical images have captured the hearts of dog lovers worldwide Since 2003. His photos can be found on throughout stationary, home décor, apparel and publishing categories. Clients include Hallmark, Random House, LL Bean, Orvis, The US Post Office, and Barnes & Noble.
As a lover of all animals, a portion of Ron's profits are donated to support animal rescue and welfare causes throughout the world.
We hope you enjoy the images as much as Ron enjoys creating them.
