Currently on Display: Photographer Christine Roulston
Christine is a Victoria-based photographer specializing in pet photography.
Her recent exhibition No Bad Dogs – a photo project about reactive dogs & the people who love them writes:
“You might think the dogs I photograph have always been the apple of their pet parent’s eye. But that’s not always the case.
Early set backs
Some of these clients have had relationships with their dogs fraught with challenges such as resource guarding and reactivity. Many of these owners have faced days wondering if they’ve made a horrible mistake bringing the dog into their home, doubting if they have what it takes to train the animal. They consider rehoming the dog . Days go by and they keep pouring everything into the dog in front of them while grieving the dog they wanted.
Hard fought victories
Then one day they start to see that trust build between the dog and themselves. They keep working on things. They notice improvements in the dog’s behaviour. They realize the dog will never be the one they pictured for themselves, far from it. But that’s ok. Because the also realize they’re totally and utterly in love.”
On display until the end of August.
