My Ball

in #animalphotography7 years ago (edited)

I always enjoy playing with composition in portraits.. even with animals. You can't see the whole dog in the shot, but as his loving (only slightly obsessive) guardian, I know exactly who it is, and it's one of my favourite shots of him. Detail shots were always really popular with my Phodography clients!

Doesn't he just melt your heart?


He was being such a good boy. All he wanted was to go outside and play ball. I was using him as a practice model to tweak my lighting. We compromised. He held onto the ball while he posed, then we went for an awesome walk after I was done. :)


What is your dog's favourite toy? Helo loves anything that I can chuck, but tennis balls are his favourite because he can squish and destroy them!

I just want to boop the snoot.

I just booped it for you and he wagged his tail :)

nice post please vote my comment, because your vote is very valuable to me

Love the detail in this.... and the close crop really gives it an artistic feel... I could totally see this on someone's wall.

The light on his nose is so good! Smashed it Caity Cat!

Thanks, man! It's hung on a few different walls ... except mine! I've been thinking lately though that I would like to hang a big print of it. :)
Yes, ol' mr sparkle nose! lol That was always my goal with the lighting for these dog shots... to get their coats to shine and their noses to sparkle!

I'm digging that composition. Great shot!

Thank you very much!!!

Chewie loves anything that squeaks, so that’s great.
I love this photo a lot.

I used to buy Helo squeakers but all he does is destroy them immediately! He does have one ball that squeaks though... it's the best!!

my dog loves her frisbee! She will basically fetch till she drops, because she wants to!! (not forced) heheheh

Oh frisbees are the BEST because they stay in the air long enough for a big dramatic JUMP to catch!!! Helo will chase a frisbee but he gets frustrated bringing it back because they get in the way of his feet (he's not very big)! Thank you for the upvote and comment! Much appreciated!

I don't know how I feel about you exploiting my dog... He owes me money...

He's gotta earn his snuggles somehow
