About Boots & Tails Photography

My name is Ian and I’m an Australian automotive and canine lifestyle photographer who works wherever engines echo and tails wag. Boots & Tails was born from something simple but powerful

The bond between people, their cars, and their dogs. These aren’t just photos. They’re the moments that define a life.

Every car has a story. Every dog has a soul. Every family has a chapter they never want to forget. When I shoot, I’m honouring all of it — the pride of a freshly detailed V8, the memory of the first car you ever owned, the faithful dog who has seen you through every season, and the roads that shaped you.

My work doesn’t just capture machines or animals. It captures identity. Legacy. Love.
The kind of images your kids will show their kids, long after the engine cools and the gravel settles.

Because the truth is this: Cars age. Dogs grow old. Time moves fast. Photographs are how we hold the moments still.

And that’s what Boots & Tails is all about — preserving the heartbeat of the life you’ve built, one frame at a time.
