Oodles O’ Poodles & An Auto Grouping Posing Method

We’ve spoken of auto grouping methods before.  Baskets, boxes and even rolling up fabric can be used to group multiple animals in a shot.  The smaller the container, the closer you can get them.
I’ve used this basket for many puppies and kittens.  It also works for an adult smaller breed, such as the Chihuahua or [...]

What You Want Your Yorkie To Be

Besides offering you a look at the most beautiful Yorkie coat I’ve photographed, I post Sister again today to show the timelessness a sepia-treated photograph can present.  Another photo of Sister can be viewed on Girls Just Want To Have Fun.
It’s very easy to do, but you still have to begin with a good photograph.  [...]

Posing On Different Levels.

Are these folks lovely or what!  Posing a large group of dogs like this is a little challenging, but having their human in the frame makes it easier.  Their mom has rescued each of them from different sources; the latest – Lucy – was rescued from under the building where she works.  It took many [...]

Pet Photography With Props

It’s true that you can overwhelm your composition with too many props.  This one is right on the verge of such, but look…if you’ve ever walked the streets of the French Quarter you may have seen a picture something like this on every street corner.  Only in place of Snowy, a cat in sunglasses might [...]

Collie At Work

Skills are meant to be used.  Photography is not a medium which is learned and forgotten; it must be practiced, like any other endeavor.  Use it or lose it, as it were.  This is an example of what happens when you single-mindedly grab focus of a moving subject and release at the appropriate instant.
The humans [...]

Through Tinkerbell’s Eyes

Is this tiny girl just adorable, or what?  Could you imagine this tiny soul being used to bait train an already double-her-size fighting breed puppy?   Cats were used with the young fighters as well.  That’s standard operating procedure for those in the business of fighting dogs.
You’ve read what I have to say about this in [...]

The Long and The Short of Pet Photography

You see what I mean about posing to accent a certain quality?  Yes, you would have seen Fritz’s entire length had I posed him broadside to the camera, but this gentles a more contrived angle, in my opinion.  Yet we see his length in spades.  I’ve always loved this portrait.  Even his tiny tongue is [...]

Posing Multiple Dogs – 4 Goldens All In A Row

In the studio, it’s usually my intent to create at least one perfect formal portrait.  Of course I have never achieved perfection, but that is what I try to execute every time.  I can find oh so many things I would like to have improved in this image if I were a painter…alas, I am [...]

How To Pose A Greyhound

Well it’s about time for another Greyhound isn’t it?  I need to remind those who still want to get in to be eligible for entry into the 2010 Greyhound Pets of America – Louisiana Chapter calendar to make an appointment today.  Time is running out.  The deadline for calendar portraits is August 16th.  It’ not [...]

Sweet Princess

With great sadness, Sisters Pet Pics adds another soft and treasured dog soul to our list of friends who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  When her mom wrote to tell us of her passing, I found tears welling with fresh grief  for those I knew better than Princess, but who were not loved more.
When she [...]
