You met Mouton before — with his house brother Deuce the Great Dane — in I Wanna Hold Your Hand.
We’re working on the Greyhound images we shot all summer for the 2010 Greyhound Pets of America – Louisiana Chapter (GPA-LA) calendar. Though I shot hundreds and hundreds of images, about 160 of them were serious [...]

If you’ve kept up with this blog and have an interest in pet photography, you’ll remember the sweet angle that I speak of. In my opinion most dogs are presented more attractively at 45° to the camera. Case in point – Nikki. CiCi The Rescued, Retired, Racing Greyhound (Click to enlarge) Yep, you can. Will you? That’s the question. Any camera can make you a photographer, but any camera will not automatically make you one unless you learn how to use it. Some time ago I bought my daughter a 2px PnS. I showed her what the buttons [...] You met Nikki as a good citizen in the Good Citizenship post. She’s a tiny sweet Pomeranian who is kept clipped short most of the year. I’ve mentioned this before, but to me Poms seem to have a built-in halo around their heads. I know Nikki does. Of all the things you need to be thinking about when shooting pets, posing them is probably the number one challenge. They’re pets, after all. None of them come in with Lassie-type skills.

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 [...] This little girl did not participate in the training class back in 2007, but did come for the graduation party and had her photo taken with all the other graduates. Somehow I get the idea that Tess skates most of the time, but why not? Look at her. She did enough just to arrive and [...] This personable little guy has the most faaaabulous tail! This is Coco. In some of the proofs his tail obscured his body! But in this one it’s just right. Coco’s tail reminds me to wonder if life is a coin flip. Remember the trick phrase, heads I win, tails you lose? Is life a predestined [...] Sometimes your shot plan will include a list of journalistic shots that tell a story of the activity. They can be every bit as appealing as a staged formal portrait. You would probably never list a shot like this, “Try to get a shot of a puppy training class graduation with the subject pulling the [...] Not a speck of red eye in this mother and daughter pair. I like to call this image ‘Four Ears, Three Eyes’. By the way, no Photoshop tricks here. They just like to cuddle like that. For Kia and Boots it’s all about the eyes, so the desired shot would include crystal clear, blue eyes. [...] |
