Mark Rogers

I’m a commercial pet photographer. This means I essentially get to spend my work days on the ground with a camera making funny noises and playing with puppies, kittens, rabbits, birds and the occasional farm animal. It also means I don’t get easily embarrassed because I often do my job on set with a crew looking on and trying not to laugh at me (unsuccessfully). In 2006 I turned my passion for photographing tough-to-adopt shelter animals into a career and now make a living creating images of animals (both with and without people) that appear in national advertising campaigns, magazines and books. I still spend much of my spare time working with animal welfare groups and shelters to promote what they do and help find homes for the animals they care for. Rescue animals feature prominently in most of my work. I’ve been told I have a knack for capturing the true personalities and humor of the animals I photograph as well as the special bond shared by pets and people. All I know is I have a lot of fun doing what I do and tend to come home covered in fur and smelling like pet treats on most days. Also, most of my jeans have holes or grass stains on the knees. I’m based in San Francisco but travel throughout the US for projects. I’m equally comfortable shooting in a studio or on location with a large crew or just by myself as the project demands it. In the age of COVID and Zoom I’m also used to working remotely on one side of the country while creatives and clients observe and give feedback from the other. Give me a call. We can talk about your pet project and my favorite dog treats — I’ve tasted a lot of them! (415) 378-8602 mark@markrogersphotography.com www.markrogersphotography.com
