Photo session highlight: Random and Hazzard

Dalmatians are a stoic and elegant breed…

This double Dalmatian photo session with Hazzard & Random was absolutely amazing from start to finish.

It started with an early morning wake up and a trip to nearby dog-friendly facility for a sunrise shoot in the brush. Then we had a walk around the property, stopping at half a dozen spots along the way to photograph against different backdrops.

Then we moved on to action! Restrained recalls in the fields led to some amazing silly faces and energy.

Next, it was family portraits of the whole crew laughing and cuddling together.

Then we moved indoors to a nearby arena to my mobile studio, where we set up truly stunning portraits in rich and dynamic lighting.

And finally we ended the day with some messy fun. We broke out the powder in each of the dog’s characteristic colours with the intention of creating a large piece of wall art to display proudly at home.

This is just a small example of some of the amazing images we captured this day. Seriously, I love every single shot from this day. I love it when clients opt to participate in these lengthy combination sessions! They’re so much fun, and the results speak for themselves.

Session highlights

Feline photography is now available

I had a furry celebrity come by my studio recently! Tonic, the real star of the new Pet Semetary movie, dropped in to say hello, along with his feline compatriot, Sashimi. They were kind enough to pose for me while I tried my hand at photographing cats. My goal for this session was to emphasize rim lighting to create soft and elegantly lit portraits.

Introducing studio action photography with coloured powder

Regular readers might recall that I set out into 2019 with the intention of learning more about using artificial lighting in my photography. After experimenting in my in-home studio for a few brief months, I jumped into the deep end with action photography. I wasn’t too sure if I’d be successful in creating images that were up to my standards beforehand, but, well, mission succeeded! I’m thrilled with these shots. What do you think?

We also had a film crew present this day, capturing footage for some very cool upcoming projects. It was quite the event!

Stay tuned for more images posted to my social media channels as I finish them.
