ABOUT THE ARTIST
Elke Vogelsang
German photographer Elke Vogelsang developed a passion for photography as a form of therapy during a tough time in her life. It didn’t take long for her fun photos to catch people’s attention, so Elke dared to ditch her day job as a translator and make pet photography her profession.
