SG FIELD NOTES creates dark, cinematic animal portraiture from the field, focusing on dogs, wildlife, working animals, and the human-animal bond.
MISSION
Objective: build a distinctive body of work in animal portraiture, dog photography, wildlife, and field-based storytelling.
Methodology: move often, observe properly, document honestly.
Standard: images with weight. Notes with purpose. Work that does not disappear into the noise.
SG Field Notes exists to record dogs, wildlife, wild places, and the work behind the frame.
No studio polish.
No staged perfection.
No copying the usual path.
Just field-made images, honest notes, and a long-term body of work built to be recognised.

ABOUT
SG FIELD NOTES is the work of Steven Green: photographer, observer, and owner of Otto, the hound behind half the miles and half the chaos.
The focus is dogs, wildlife, animal portraiture, and field-based storytelling. Work made outside: on hillsides, in woodland, across rough ground, and anywhere animals are best understood on their own terms.
This is not studio-led pet photography. It is not clean lifestyle content dressed up as adventure. It is portraiture built from fieldcraft, instinct, patience, and time on the ground.
The notes matter too. The conditions, the mistakes, the miles, the graft, and the odd lesson learned the hard way. SG Field Notes is not just the finished frame, it is the record of what went into making it.
The aim is clear: to build a distinctive body of work in animal portraiture and field photography, recognised for its honesty, discipline, and edge.
This is SG FIELD NOTES.
Animal portraits, Wild Places, Notes from the field.
