Portraits - Shoot 2

After deciding to elaborate on the photo I took of the woman walking her dog, I went to Farnham Park today to take some more photos of owners with their dogs to which I could then replicate later. When taking these photos I tried to get the owners in the photo as well as the dog because I felt that it would make the composition a lot more engaging. These are a few of the images I captured.

Later this week I will be putting dog makeup on my friend and will be trying to replicate these pictures to the best that I can. When doing this, I found that there were some obstacles at times such as when trying to make the dogs sit. Some of the dogs were running around at times because I was someone they had never seen before so I think it made them quite hyper so to overcome this I had to ask the owner of the dog to tell the dog to sit so I could take an image with good quality.

Out of these images, I think my favourite one is the one with the Beagle that is quite close to the camera. I like it the most because I feel that it's the picture that shows the most emotion in the dogs face; it looks slightly lost, like it doesn't understand what's going on. I think this will be a good picture to replicate as my model can be close to the camera, looking off into the distance with a frown on their face.
