DOGS AT HOME
The aim of my canine portraiture is to capture images for clients that will have longevity for them and that they will love and cherish. To achieve this, I like to photograph the dogs in their own homes where they feel most relaxed and secure.
As anyone who owns or works with dogs will know, they will only be directed so much, and they have their own ideas about how a photography shoot will go. This can present a challenge, but also the opportunity to observe and capture characteristics of the individual dogs despite their different levels of interaction.
I was able to capture endearment, interest, alertness, pride, a readiness to play, and an ability to sit still to their owner’s command. The dogs also showed me their calmer sides with contentment in togetherness, wandering attention, total relaxation and even sleep!
