Twenty Merrifield pooches have put their best paws forward to feature in a new photo exhibition.
‘Dogs of Merrifield’ was curated to celebrate the opening of the Merrifield Dog Park in Mickleham last month.
More than 100 entries were submitted for the exhibition, with 20 canines selected for a portrait session with professional photographer, Captured Shots’ Chris Segrave.
Segrave said being involved in the exhibitions was “rewarding.”
“Not only am I a Merrifield resident, but also photographing the chosen local pooches in this exhibition was such a delightful experience. Capturing all the different adorable dogs was so much fun and I’m so proud of this work,” he said.
One of the selected pooches was Molly, whose owner Lisa Trajcevski said she enjoyed the experience.
“Getting Molly’s photos taken as part of the Dogs of Merrifield photographic exhibition was such a great experience and to see her photo at this amazing off leash dog park was fantastic,” she said.
‘Dogs of Merrifield’ is on display at the Merrifield Dog Park, corner of Blackmore Road and Maystone Drive, until the end of June.
Matthew Planner, communities general manager at MAB Corporation – the developer of the Merrifield estate – said about one in two Merrifield families own a dog, according to recent Merrifield community surveys.
“We are also incredibly proud to have supported the Dogs of Merrifield photographic exhibition, which celebrates the opening of the dog park and the valuable role it will play in enhancing social connections within the Merrifield community.”
