Carl has loved animals since he can remember. He began taking pictures of his cherished pets at the age of 12 and has not stopped since. These days, Carl’s talent is highly sought after by people who share the same love and adoration for their pets, and consider them "part of the family." That is why Carl has started petpixuk to offer affordable low cost pet portraits to all pet lovers out there.

Carl is a real lover of art, and worked as an artist for two years. He also likes to think of a photograph as a work of art, and believe if one has no real artistic quality then it is not worth showing to people. Carl is running another successful business, Hugger Art Hire, he hires and sells stunning art pieces to businesses and homes all over the UK. Offering a catalogue of hundreds of works, it is still growing. Founded in 2007, it has an environmental aim at heart. Hugger Art Hire donates 25% of profits to B a Tree Hugger, a charity which funds aforestation, planting trees and protecting forests.

B a Tree Hugger is a charity dedicated to combating the effects of carbon emissions and replenishing our lost forests. It promotes awareness of deforestation, and funds aforestation projects, which plant and protect forests. It raises funds through purchases from the Hugger Gallery gift shop and Hugger Art Hire sales, as well as through public and corporate donations.
