Photographer: Madalina Ungureanu

I'm Madalina, an Italian photographer who found her true purpose behind the lens thanks to a Golden Retriever named Lela. I’ve been photographing since I was a child, but it wasn’t until Lela entered my life that I understood what I really wanted to tell through my images: the unspoken, honest bond between dogs and the people who love them.

With a background in fashion and studio portraiture, I now dedicate myself entirely to dog photography—both in nature and controlled light—where I can let each dog’s spirit unfold naturally. I study canine behavior deeply, because I believe respect and empathy are key to capturing their true essence.

Through every photo, I try to freeze a moment of connection—something fleeting, but full of meaning. My work is not just about beauty; it’s about truth, personality, and love, all seen through the eyes of a dog.
