wolf shadow photography is Kirsten Bowers: a photographer interested in capturing the spirit of her subjects, whether they be her dogs, WolfCub and Phoenix, or other animals and wildlife. While living in a large city, she is equally interested in natural and urban contexts, to convey a uniquely Australian perspective. Kirsten presents the vibrancy and energy of her subjects through both colour and black and white images. Her dog WolfCub, especially represents her desire to explore heroic, comic and dark themes.

Kirsten combines her years of working as a photographer with skills as a rewards based dog trainer in her other business, Pet Pursuits.  Having a solid knowledge of dog, cat and horse behaviour allows her to quickly gain trust and to bring out the heart and soul of the animals she photographs. One glimpse of her portraits and action shots, shows her ability to capture the spirit and character of her subjects.
