This is a dog trainer & one of her working dogs 'Vito' that I shot for a product ad in a publication and for convention booth posters. It's so nice to work with a well trained (and beautiful) dog.
This first shot was used in the magazine ad:
1.
These didn't make the cut:
2.
3. (I liked this except for her disappearing hand! .. it was enough to make it a reject)
4. (this one just didn't look *comfortable*)
5. This is one of the product posters (finished). I liked the lighting and candid feel of it.
After shooting these, it made me wonder why we don't see more owner/pet portraits in this section. Maybe someone ought to start a string and/or a *challange* to get everyone to attempt more pet/owner portraits? .. eh? good idea ya think? Wouldn't that be kind of fun?
