Dog Photography
« on: April 14, 2011, 09:39:08 am »

As a professional, I've been photographing dogs for about five years. I prefer working in a studio. I started a blog awhile back to satisfy my desire to write about dogs, dog photography, and anything of interest regarding our canine friends. I recently wrote an article about a photo session involving Italian Greyhounds and shooting with a Hasselblad camera.

I've started doing a few dogs with mfd in studio.  Obviously harder to do, but detail and tonality makes the difference.  For those active or young or untrained dogs I can see just going to dslr and zoom lens.

The studio I used to work for did alot of dog portraits in studio. All shot on Hassy V with Phase Back. Results were simply stunning. They have a 60x60( I think) print of a dane standing over a schnauzer in the foyer. The expressions on the dogs faces is priceless and the print is very impressive! See it here along with the rest of their work: www.macdonellphotography.com .

A recent study of over 80 000 people found that Australian women spend more on their dogs than on their partners. More info here:

Thanks, David. I've yet to photograph a Whippet. If you and Victor ever find your way to Central Florida, stop by the studio.

If you want to photograph an old Old English Sheepdog, let me know, send the plane tickets, book my wife & I into a five star hotel, & I'll fly him over  :)
