Piece description from the artist
"Finn" (Black Labrador Retriever)
Out in the ocean lurk all kinds of sharks –
Including this interesting breed that barks!
I love to produce images that trick the eye, as I did when I created this shark whose bark is worse than his bite! I try to shoot outdoors in natural light whenever possible. I live on the coast of Massachusetts with the ocean at my beck and call – so it was easy to find the elements to create this composite shot of a black Labrador retriever swimming with a sailboat “shark fin” in the background.
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.
