# Paws and Claws Photography

Paws and Claws Photography, based in Thorns, West Sussex, is a specialist pet photography service run by photographer Olly Clarke. The business caters to pet owners across the south coast who want professional, high-quality images of their beloved animals.

What sets this business apart is its distinctive focus on exotic animals and small mammals—a niche that few pet photographers service. Whilst they photograph traditional pets like dogs and cats, Olly has built particular expertise in capturing hamsters, bearded dragons, chameleons, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, frogs, geckos and other exotic creatures. This specialisation makes them the go-to photographer for owners with unusual or small pets who struggle to find photographers willing to work with their animals.

The business also specialises in puppy litter photography, offering breeders and owners the chance to professionally document litters during their early weeks. This service appeals to both private breeders wanting memorable records and those looking to create marketing materials for their breeding programmes.

Beyond standard pet photography, Paws and Claws extends their services to the community through charity and fundraising support, demonstrating a commitment to animal welfare causes. Their transparent approach—clearly explaining how photoshoots work—helps nervous pet owners understand the process and build confidence before booking.

Olly's diverse portfolio and willingness to work with any pet, regardless of species, reflects a genuine passion for animal photography that resonates throughout the business.
