Month of Dogs // Emma O'Brien
Foto ZA Gallery is excited to display a collection of award winning dog photographer Emma O’Brien’s work throughout the month of August.
Featuring brand new images shot for both the Sandton SPCA and The South African Guide Dogs Association, this is a portrait photography exhibition you won’t want to miss.
We have a wonderful line up of events to accompany the exhibition, all with a charitable element:
The Sandton SPCA Calendar & Exhibition Launch
Thursday 3rd August - 6.30pm - R100pp
Join us for the official opening of the exhibition and be the first to get your hands on a 2024 Sandton SPCA calendar. This is the 13th calendar that Emma has photographed and features gorgeous portraits of adopted dogs and cats now living their best lives. All proceeds from calendar sales go straight to Sandton SPCA and to date this is a creative project that’s raised over R1.5 million.
Fundraising Dog Pageant

We’re planning a day of fun and fundraising with the first FOTO ZA Dog Pageant!
