Client testimonials
"Sometimes you meet extremely skilled professionals..
During my visit as a judge for the 2017 New England Regional Championship in USA for some weeks ago I met one. Often when I judge I have to guide the photographers because they are all over the place. Brian, you were like a ghost. I didn’t see you, didn’t hear you, and you didn’t disturb any dog or handler... still you show us pictures like you was in the middle of the field! It impresses me. You take crazy good and very special photos, please keep it up."

"I have had the pleasure of showing my dog at several National and World events. I have traveled all over the USA and Europe showing my dog. Hands down, Brian is the most consistent and talented at capturing the emotion and action in our sport. He also puts forth extreme effort and dedication into his art. You won't be disappointed."

"There are many great photographers, however, few, are able to consistently capture moments like Brian. Time and time again Brian is able to bring a single moment in time to life as if you were right there. He is incredibly talented and passionate about what he does and this shows with his brilliant images and unparalleled work ethic."
- Jessy Gabiel, Austin, TX. x2 USA National Team Captain, x3 USA World IPO Team member
"In a day where everyone has a phone and camera at their finger tips, it takes an artist to set their photography apart from the masses. Brian is that artist. He has a way of capturing the temperament and personality of his subjects, and more importantly, the relationship of the teams. I can't recommend Brain enough, whether it's to capture the exciting details of your event, or it's too highlight memories of a special relationship. You will be so grateful that you chose him, as you will look at your photos and they will touch your emotions."
- Christie Meyer Faccinto, Cookeville, TN.
"Watching Brian at the USMRA Nationals I was super impressed with his good nature and willingness to go to extremes to get the best shots. While the rest of us were huddled under umbrellas shivering and complaining about the cold and rain, Brian was sprawled out on the wet, cold ground getting the best angle for the best shot that only he can see. When I saw the finished product I understood. So many great pictures capturing the spirit of the sport as well as the personalities and relationship of dog and handler. He also takes time to learn about the sport and the people involved. I love reading his posts. His descriptions are as artistic as his photographs. Yay Brian. Thank you!"
- Jessica Valentine, Clairmont, CA. 2018 USMRA Mondioring Nationals Level 2 Vise Champion.
"After being in dog sport for ten years, and also playing high level athletics, I have seen tons of artists and their work. None of them come close to the unbelievable quality that Brian produces. He is a man with unrivaled talent and an impeccable work ethic. It is always a joy to see Brian flying around the field faster than any of the handlers; in a manner that doesn't take away from what's going on in the field, but preserves the moments forever. Thank you Brian, I am one of many who truly treasure your talent and work!"
- Chris Campbell, Vacaville, CA. 2nd place 2017 USCA Working Dog Championship

- Louise Jollyman, Cortland Manor, NY. Breeder, National level IPO and AKC competitor
"Brian is one of the very best photographers that I have ever seen in the sport. I go back to the Doug Loving days so I have seen a lot of photographers. Although his pictures are outstanding, from any angle, he is just an absolutely nice guy to work around. He has a great eye and great attitude. You are the man."
- Randall Hoadley, Dallas, TX. GSDCA Judge and National level IPO competitor
"I have been in Schutzhund for 36 years. I have attended countless of USCA's Nationals. I have seen many professional photographers in that time. Brian is the best. And a plus on top of that he's a pretty nice fellow. We have really enjoyed his being at some of our South Central Regional Events. And if you only knew how much time he puts into going through all those shots to pick out the best."
- Dena McGowan, Houston, TX. Veterinarian & USCA South Central Region Director

- Waine Singelton, Chicago, IL. USCA, DVG & AWDF National Level IPO Helper
"I cannot speak highly enough of Brian Aghajani! He has an absolutely amazing eye for capturing those perfect and phenomenal moments. His pictures are always outstanding, his work ethic is fantastic, and his natural "eye" and skill for capturing the moment are extraordinary. During his work, he is able to set himself up for the shot in a quiet and unobtrusive manner, and always lines up shots to perfection. Plus, Brian is a wonderful person, always polite and amiable, always with a smile on his face."

"Brian is the best!! He always seems to capture the moment and produce beautiful photos. It's actually exciting to participate in an event in which he is the photographer because you KNOW you will get excellent shots of your dog! The hardest part is deciding which ones are the best because they are all so perfect. I feel very lucky to have so many photographs he has taken as a memento of experiences with my dog."
- Theresa Currier, Frederick, MD. 2017 USA National Team member to WUSV
"I'm not really sure how Brian is able to do what he does. I'm not really familiar with the technology he uses or the strategies he employs when he's setting up to shoot his photographs. All I know is that the end result is different than every other photographer's work I've seen in the field of dog sports. The pictures he has taken of my dogs in various competitions are my treasures. Brian's talent exceeds my ability to express what I see. And beyond the photographic realm, you won't find a better human being. Brian is an all-around prince that is for sure."
- Danny Craig, Sand Diego, CA. 2017 USCA S.West Region IPO Champion
"Brian is able to capture the essence of a moment, not just a photo. The photography he showcases is able to relate the emotion of that second, to a viewer that has no knowledge of the real intensity, but can feel it from the vivid colors and movement that was captured."
- Sami Hanna, Williamston, MI. National level IPO competitor

- Kathleen Sanderson, Chicago, IL. National level IPO competitor
"Brian is a true student of his craft. His desire to capture the movement and mood of each shot is evident as he crawls, runs and rolls into position on the field! In addition, his knowledge of the sport, being a competitor himself, allows him to be prepared to get those shots that truly show the athleticism and talent of the animals. The result: magnificent photos. Thank you Brian! You are an asset to the sport of Schutzhund!"
- Lori Lippincott, Lincoln, CA.

- Terry Gimple, Amarillo, TX. vom Vollkommen Shepherds
"Brian Aghajani is bar none the best photographer for IPO competition that I have ever seen. There's no secret to his success... he has outstanding equipment, excellent feel for scene composition, flawless technique, and knowledge of the sport from a competitor's point of view. Brian knows where to position himself to be in the right place at the right time to capture the perfect shot. I am thrilled anytime I see him listed as the official photographer for IPO championships.
Furthermore, his photos are prominently displayed in Schutzhund USA magazine in the articles for any events that he is present. His photos are cover-page worthy and any article that features his photos is enhanced by their quality.
In summary, Brian Aghajani is an outstanding dog sport photographer because he has the right equipment, instincts, field position, technique, and PASSION for excellence."
- Yvette Skinner, Valejo, CA. Contributing writer for USCA Schutzhund magazine
