David Sutton's portraits of dogs, cats, and people with their pets have won him international acclaim. Based outside Chicago in Evanston, Illinois, Sutton photographs dogs, cats, kids, families, and animals for all sorts of advertising, corporations, and especially private clients.

David Sutton didn’t wake up one morning proclaiming, “I want to be a pet photographer!” When he was very small, he wanted to be a veterinarian. When he got a little bigger, he decided he wanted to be a photographer. So naturally, David attended four universities over seven years and got a degree in…German.

Thankfully, David’s passion for photography never waned. His passion for shooting editorial photos of computer types and CEOs for a living, however, eventually did.

Never would he have guessed that, in his thirties, his two earliest career aspirations would collide. Enter Zane!, a Border Collie/Cattle dog with enough energy to warrant an exclamation point at the end of his name. One day in 1993, after a sitting with a corporate type in his studio, David planted his new dog, Zane! on the backdrop and started shooting. The results were fantastic. So are the highlights of his career.
