Alfie the Collie gets a photoshoot

Stuart Walker — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:54:49 +0000

I thought I would give the new camera a test before our first wedding of the year and since Alfie, our collie-cross from Dogs Trust, hasn’t modelled for a while I thought he would make a good subject. I went for my preferred black backdrop to emulate the moody style of Rembrandt’s paintings.

Lighting a white dog is different than lighting a black dog, so lighting a white dog with black markings needed a little bit of planning to get the best result. Set-up was two speedlites with small soft boxes, main light straight in front of Alfie at about 45degrees and the other to the right and behind. This gave a nice exposure for the white fur while providing enough light to reflect off the shiny dark areas.

If you would like a pet shoot for your own dog, cat, horse or monkey then give us a call.

Cute Puppy Photography

Our youngest pet photography subject so far is Holly, a Cocker Spaniel puppy just a few weeks old. It is always important to ensure the welfare of animals during photography sessions, especially at such a young age, and Holly enjoyed playing with us and her ‘big brother’ Giles during the short photoshoot at her new home.

Everyone say ‘awwww!’

As part of our ongoing commitment to our clients, we recently introduced free pet portrait sessions including a 10×8″ print for everyone who has booked wedding photography with us. Sheila and Mark’s dog “Bud” was a great model and enjoyed the attention.

Here are some images from the photo shoot.
