“The idea came about a bit less than a year ago, when I was looking for something new to try out with my photography skillset,” Ed explained. He initially reached out to friends to bring in their pets and consulted with his vet for advice on creating a safe and comfortable environment for the animals.

“I spent a lot of time since then fine-tuning the process, not just from the photography side but also from the side of the animals themselves. Learning how to handle more sensitive or scared animals, how to make them feel comfortable,” he added.

Ed’s dedication goes beyond just capturing beautiful photos. He has a heartfelt mission to support animal shelters and foster homes.

“When I decided to actually offer it as a service, I also wanted a way to give back, as seeing countless posts on social media about abandoned animals and shelters struggling to cope broke my heart. So I decided that a portion of proceeds will be donated to shelters and fosterers every month,” he shared.

For those interested in capturing the perfect portrait of their furry friends while supporting a noble cause, Malta Pet Photo offers a wonderful opportunity to do both.
