One good photo can get a streetie noticed - I learned that the hard way, fostering an indie puppy everyone overlooked till I showed her story through images. ### What I Do - I make adoption portfolios for dogs and cats - not just basic pictures, but honest portraits that capture their quirks and real personality. Especially for shy or special needs animals, I take my time so their true selves come out. Shelter pet portrait session isn't just a buzzword for me - it's about making sure every animal looks like someone worth meeting. - Comfortable settings matter. Sometimes a studio works, sometimes a park is better. I let the animal decide. ### Advocacy & Campaigns - I work with NGOs and rescuers on rescue dog fundraising visuals. I put together creative calendars and run stray animal adoption campaigns that change how people see street dogs and cats. - My images tell stories - they help raise funds for trauma care or just get folks talking about why streeties deserve love. ### How I Work - I’m patient. I don’t rush animals. Most don’t care about cameras, so I focus on making them feel safe. - My experience at a big Bangalore rescue center shaped how I work - calm, honest, always aiming for what’s best for the animal. ### Collaboration - Mostly in Bangalore, but open for projects anywhere in India with shelters and adoption drives. ## Highlights Browse through Pragalbh's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/pragalbhvashishth/animal-rescue-advocacy-photography/featured) - ![This is the kind of moment I live for.

If your dog’s around, let me know – I’ll say hi! I kinda grew up more with streeties and mountain mutts than people. Met a golden retriever in Ladakh once, he fetched rocks for trekkers – pure motivation. I shoot photos for shelters, spend time with community animals, and my own dog Baby just moved in one day and never left. Guess I’m just here to tell their stories, one click at a time. ### My work - **Pet Photography (Dogs & Cats, All Over India)**: I do fine art pet portraits, outdoor adventures, cozy home shoots, and even pet adoption photoshoots. - **Candid, Not Posed**: Dogs don’t pose, so I let them be. The goofy, regal, shy – I catch their real vibe. Candid dog photography is my thing. - **Fun, Messy Shoots**: Shoots are a little wild. I’m on the floor, making weird sounds, tossing treats. Pets run the show, I just follow. - **Art for Keeps**: Your favourite shot? We can turn it into a custom oil painting pet portrait. Not just photos – memories you hang on your wall. ## More services from Pragalbh - [Commercial Pet Photography](https://mytribe.in/pragalbhvashishth/commercial-pet-photography) · ₹8-30K per session (estimate) - [Fine Art Pet Photography](https://mytribe.in/pragalbhvashishth/fine-art-pet-photography) · ₹10-25K per session (estimate) ## Book To book Pragalbh, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Animal%20Rescue%20%26%20Advocacy%20Photography%20by%20Pragalbh.)
