Family Dogs (Click to enlarge)
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 months of patience to coax her out, then home and inside comfortably, before she felt as ease. She’s still very shy, so she felt much more comfortable under her mom’s arm. From left to right: Piglet, Buddy, Lucy and Lily.
I’m posting this group today to illustrate a method of grouping that you can use with or without humans. Any box, step or stairs can give you different levels to make your composition more interesting. Small dogs or even cats can be posed on different stairs. Two larger dogs can be posed with front feet on a step and back feet on the floor. Any number of configurations may serve to make it more interesting.
I keep boxes that can be covered with the floor cloth, and the stairs can be used with or without a cloth. Use your imagination. Don’t think it takes dogs that will obey a “stay” command to make this capture. It takes an assistant and patience. Give it a shot.
