About me
Hello there! I'm Marius, the dedicated photographer behind Piclify, where our focus is on capturing the essence of dogs through photography. Located in Devizes(Wiltshire), I primarily serve clients within a 35-mile radius, though I'm always open to travelling farther for a shoot with the right arrangements. Don't hesitate to reach out before booking to discuss your needs and any travel considerations. Let's create some unforgettable moments together!
Since I was young, my two passions have been photography and dogs. Now, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to make a living doing what I love most. Sure, everyone snaps shots of their furry companions with their phones, but there's something special about capturing your dog in motion, bounding joyfully across a field, or in a beautifully composed portrait with a dreamy background. That's where I come in. Armed with the latest photography gear tailored for capturing fast-moving subjects and creating stunning backgrounds, I strive to freeze those precious moments in time.
My journey to capture the perfect image is ongoing, and I'm thoroughly enjoying every step of it. I'd be delighted if you and your beloved four-legged friend would join me for a relaxed and enjoyable photoshoot.

As you browse through captivating dog portraits, you might wonder if your own furry friend would behave well enough for a photoshoot. Whether it's their endless curiosity, boundless energy, or short attention span, rest assured, with a little preparation and some digital wizardry, we'll transform your dog's unique personality into stunning wall-worthy images.
During the session, there's no need to worry about startling your dog with flashes. Instead, I opt for a gentle approach, ensuring a calm and relaxed environment. In rare cases where additional lighting is necessary, I only use low-powered constant light, and always with your dog's comfort in mind. Your furry companion's well-being and happiness are my top priorities throughout the entire experience. Let's capture some unforgettable moments together, hassle-free!
Outdoor Sessions
Our outdoor photoshoots typically last up to 2 hours, although there's no need to rush. We'll keep shooting until we're confident we've captured a fantastic selection of images that truly showcase the essence and personality of your beloved dog. These sessions take place in carefully selected parks, woodlands, and green spaces, which we'll discuss a few days before the session to ensure the perfect backdrop.
Does My Dog Need to Be Trained?
While it's beneficial if your dog can respond to basic commands like sit and stay, I understand that every pup has their own agenda during walks! If your furry friend tends to wander off or get distracted, don't worry. We can still capture beautiful moments with them on the lead, and I'll seamlessly remove the lead during editing.
What to Bring?
For outdoor sessions, it's helpful to bring along a lead with a collar, poo bags, and your dog's favourite bribery items, whether it's treats or a beloved toy. While I'll have some on hand, it's always best to have what your dog loves most. If your dog needs to wear a harness, please note that it can be challenging or impossible to remove it in editing software.
What If It Rains or Is Very Wet?
Dry weather is essential for outdoor sessions, as nobody enjoys walking or posing for pictures in wet conditions. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, don't fret. We'll simply reschedule the session to ensure we capture your furry friend looking their absolute best in better conditions.

Is a photo shoot at the client's place possible?
Absolutely! A photo shoot at the client's place is indeed possible, however, it's essential that you reach out to us shortly after booking so we can discuss the specifics of your home and/or garden conditions. This ensures that we can tailor the session to accommodate your unique environment
