Photographer excels in his pet subjects

"This dog owner asked if I could take some photos of him and his dog. In return, he would fix my computer. After that I realized that I could actually make money from my passion," he said.

In 2010, Zhang launched his photography studio, Inpetphoto, in the UK. After graduating a year later, he decided to return to Beijing and take a photography job at a design studio. Despite having a full-time job, he continued offering pet photography services at the weekends, charging just 100 yuan for a simple photo shoot.

When demand for his pet photography services burgeoned, Zhang left his full-time job to focus on his company. Today, Inpetphoto has seven professional photographers and two studios in Beijing.
