Never work with children or animals” is an old industry saying. It's also one Alexandrena, well known for thriving in beautifully chaotic situations, happily ignores.

She was commissioned by Ogilvy to shoot 'Simparica’s' Protection for Dogs – Trusted by Dog People campaign. Captured alongside the TVC shoot, Alexandrena worked seamlessly with her stills crew, talent and a cast of furry co-stars to create images that feel spontaneous, honest and full of humour. The focus was on that snapshot-in-time feeling, embracing the slightly naughty, inconvenient and endearingly chaotic behaviours that come with dog ownership.
