Alle – March 2010
I’ve missed a few opportunities to show off our little white dog, but couldn’t pass up this shot from her 2010 calendar. Yes, we truly print out calendars every year of various photos taken of her.
This was a very simple setup from a technical point of view. Alle was sitting on a black piece of plexiglass to give a nice reflection. The background was black seamless paper and the lighting was a single 2×3 foot softbox.
When shooting pets, or any living subject for that matter, a good starting angle is to get at their eye level and experiment from there. Make the subject look larger by shooting up at them, or smaller by shooting down. I was pretty much at eye level with Alle.
