Pet

I figured the kids could use a break from being my subjects and I would use Strider for P as in Pet. After a few minutes of trying to get him to stay in a sitting position I was starting to second guess using the dog for my subject as he was trying my patience and wining! In the end he does a better job of staying in a laying down position and those photographs came out better anyway. I was going to use a flash however there was just enough light in the room to try this with just natural light so I left the flash off. I also had my assistant Hannah holding a piece of white foam core off to the left to bounce a little bit of light back on him.

Dog Portrait

So I guess the kids got tired of being my subjects and I had to move on to making the dog pose for me. You can tell it was real rough for him having to lay there on his pillow and all but he managed. Took several different photos, I was actually surprised he stayed there as well as he did, I guess after 7-8 years he is finally starting to settle down a bit!
