Animal photography is not as simple as one may think. Each shot can be quick or slow, depending on the animal that’s in front of the camera.

“I need to work fast, and know how I want the animals to look (in the picture),” said Irene Lim Saw Khim, 47, a dog lover and pet photographer from Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur. She has been specialising in pet photography for eight years now.
