MIROSLAVA & BRIAN

Miroslava sought out a photographic experience to honour the deep, unconditional bond she shares with her dog, Brian—a spirited, loving Border Collie who has become her best friend and emotional anchor. As a nurse working long hours and often away from home, she cherishes the comfort, companionship, and routine Brian brings into her life. From the moment she brought him home at three months old—after an eight-hour round trip to North Wales—he became her heart. He was her 40th birthday gift and, in her words, if she had to choose between her partner and Brian, she’d choose Brian without hesitation! The shoot was her way of preserving that connection forever, especially as Brian has recently been unwell, bringing with it the anxiety of how fragile life can be.

The photographic experience helped Miroslava navigate the unspoken fear of what life would be like without Brian, capturing not just what he looks like, but who he is—his focus, his playful zoomies, his proud sock-thieving, and most of all, the way he looks at her when she asks him to do something. Brian isn’t a lap dog, but he’s always nearby—resting his head on her foot during work calls, following her with his eyes, or doing his joyful little dance when she comes home. It’s these small, deeply personal gestures that Miroslava wanted to celebrate and remember.

The resulting artwork is proudly displayed in her home, in a space where she can see it daily. It serves as a visual reminder of the love, joy, and healing Brian has brought into her life. Every time she sees it, it brings her a sense of peace and gratitude—reminding her not to take a single moment for granted. It helps her approach life with a softer, more present mindset, grounding her in the bond they share, especially on the tougher days that come with her demanding work in the private healthcare sector.

For Miroslava, this experience was more than just a photoshoot—it was a way to pause, to reflect, and to preserve the energy of a relationship she’s waited over 20 years to have. Brian is more than just a dog—he is her steady companion, her comic relief, her silent support system. Their artwork tells that story, and it helps her live each day more gratefully and with a full heart.
