“The dogs got a boner…”

December 6, 2017 By Robert Provencher Leave a Comment

Client calls my wife last week: “Love the pics, but the dogs got a boner.”

Oooops. Totally missed that one. No problem, we reopen the image in photoshop, simple clone, and poof….boner be gone!.Send the new version, cleaned up and boner free to the lab.

I always like including the family dog in our family portraits. We encourage everyone to bring them along. They are valued members of the family.

Sometimes, depending on the gender and the angle, certain body parts reveal themselves. No problem, we can “fix it in post.”

Unless we miss it. Still, no problem, we’ll redo and make sure the client is happy. No one wants a family portrait with an excited pooch.

When it comes to photographing dogs, there’s no one better than Margaret Bryant. She knows dogs, knows how to photograph them and has built a successful business on this niche.

A few years ago she presented a four part series. And it’s good. Very, very good.

Release the hounds…

Big dogs scare me. Little dogs not so much. This family of dogs above I shot last week. The big brother, Jethro, weighs in at about 160 LBS. The littler pup, angel, barely weighs in at 8 lbs.

A true mixed breed family. And a lot of fun to photograph.

I learned a lot on shooting dogz from Margaret Bryant, one of the best dog and pet photographers around today.

We ran a four part series called “Dogs and The Business of Pet Photography- How to start, grow and maintain a profitable portrait niche business photographing dogs.”

In it Margaret poured her heart out. There’s a lot more to creating portraits with personality than meets the eye. And I got a ways to go!

Whenever I photograph a family I insist they bring the family dog. To me, and to everyone who owns a family pet, their beloved dog IS a member of the family.

And we can create some cool portraits. IN studio or on location.

It really helps to have someone like Margaret and her years of talent and experience to help guide me along the way.

Go here for more info on Margaret’s program.

Another one of my attempts from last fall:

Yours in success in photography,
