Building A Studio Photographic Portrait

Consider studio photography, namely portraiture.  What are the components, or building blocks?  Look at the image of Tango, Dancer and Toshi.  We could have added another 3 of these lovelies, and the building blocks of a capture would remain the same.  Background, lighting and foreground, or subject.  Before you can attend to the Photographic Triangle, [...]

Bookends

Without looking at the chart in the article Is Coat Colour Linked To Temperament, I knew that these two fellas were laid back, placid, even tempered and friendly.  Yep, you heard me right.  Fellas.  Their mom has a sense of humor, for sure.  She adopted them as adults and didn’t know their gender until she [...]

Good Girls

And so they are.  This is Dixie and Bella.  Dixie is the older of the two and is teaching Bella the ropes.  They both have been socialized by their mom and dad incredibly well and will do almost anything they’re asked.  Although they don’t seem to be having the time of their lives at the [...]

Richer Lives

Duke arrived in our studio a month ago in his mom’s arms with his two house-mates and his human parents for what would be his last portrait.  Soon after the shoot his family lost him to what most pets will succumb to in the age of improved veterinary medicine, old age.  He just plumb wore [...]

Moral Progress

Meet Abby, the Brussels Griffon.  I know, I know, she’s got that fly-away look, but if you’re not an AKC judge (and how many of us are one of those?), you can’t help but smile at her obvious personality.  I happen to love her look, although you won’t find her listed in the examples of [...]

Cinco de Mayo & Happy Birthday!

On May 5, 1862 Mexicans won a great victory against the occupying French that kept Napoleon III from supplying Confederate rebels for another year.  This allowed the United States to build the greatest army the world had ever seen and this grand army smashed the Confederates at Gettysburg just 14 months after the battle of [...]

Never Too Early Or Too Late For Bunny Ears

Don’t you think?  Meet Cher.  Just as lovely as her her namesake.  Although we love the nekked dogs in our studio we also love to stage themed portraits.  Sometimes theme props provide a means to anchor or secure a bouncy subject without interfering in the shot.  And so it was with Cher, the Yorkie-Maltese mix.
I [...]

Gris Gris

For the second year, Sisters Pet Pics will proudly donate our services to the Greyhound Pets of America – Louisiana Chapter (GPALA) to create and produce their yearly fundraising project: a calendar.  It was a rip-roaring success last year!  We’ve begun production of the 2010 calendar!  Get involved!  If you own a rescued Greyhound and [...]

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

Didn’t you think both these boys were Harlequin Great Danes when you first glanced at the image?  Surely they look alike in this pose.  Meet Deuce, the Dane, and Mouton, the retired racing Greyhound.  If you’re reading my daily tips to better pet photography, you will remember that I believe if multiple animals evenly spaced [...]

Who’s Your Daddy

Meet Buc, the Doberman, and Brooke, his Maltese baby.  It never ceases to amaze me that such different beings can get so close.  I’m a sucker for those stories where different species foster each other.  There’s an incredible one at Happy Dogs Play blog’s April 8th entry.  Dogs are phenomenal creatures with some unexplained characteristics.  [...]
