I traded my guitar for a camera to capture the real, messy, and wonderful lives of pets. My 13-year muse, Laika, taught me that the best photos aren't posed. ## Photos and videos - ![This is me and my senior dog, Laika. She's the reason I started this journey. My goal is always to capture the unique personality of every animal I meet.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d8a88e53-adc2-4389-98bb-6e8311b8403d) - ![Just a normal day, getting my ear chewed on by my favorite model, Laika.

My process is built entirely on the patience—and occasional chaos—that comes from working with a real animal, not just a subject. I don't force poses because, like any of us, a pet's true personality only comes out when they are comfortable. I was never supposed to be a photographer. My plan was to play guitar in rock bands, but life had other ideas. While photography started as a creative outlet, I found my purpose after fostering a black indie puppy. I was warned that 'black, indie, and female' were difficult traits for adoption, but I realized that a good photo could change a life. Seeing how a simple, honest image could get a dog adopted changed everything for me. Today, I work with everyone from corporate brands to rescue centers like CARE (Charlie's Animal Rescue Centre). Whether I am in a home studio in Bangalore or trekking through the mountains of Uttarakhand to photograph working Gaddi dogs, my goal remains the same: to tell a story. I do not care for stiff, unnatural poses. I want to capture the goofy, the regal, and the shy sides of your companions. My work is not just about making a pet look pretty; it is about showing off the quirks and moods that make them unique individuals. If you want photos that feel real and capture your pet's actual vibe, we will get along just fine. ## About Pragalbh I wasn't supposed to be a photographer; I wanted to play guitar, but I ended up documenting animals instead. My work is simple: I use 10 years of experience and a lot of treats to capture your pet exactly as they are—goofy, regal, or just curious. Everything I know I learned from my own dog, Laika.
