Dog Show - Session I
Mar 27, 2017 09:10:57 #
I invited my brother Glenn to attend a Dog Show in Raleigh, NC last Saturday. We thoroughly enjoyed it. A wonderful mixture of breeds and friendly owners. What I liked most is that just about every one of them was eager to have their dog's photos taken.

Interesting. I didn't know you would have that much access to the dogs.

The dogs are usually on leash, standing or sitting next to their owners, or they are up on a table, being groomed. Then there are the dogs in the show rings, but I usually shy away from those. I can get much closer walking the aisles.Interesting. I didn't know you would have that much access to the dogs.

Thank you for the excellent set Bob. We just lost our Golden Retreiver so it's great looking at your images. At one time I use to show one of our retrievers and enjoyed being at shows. Thanks

Thank you George. The Goldens always seem to be among the favorites at just about every Dog Show I have ever attended. Here is one I shot in 2016.Thank you for the excellent set Bob.

Understood. I like to see a show for attack dogs. That would be fun.

Now you have a new venue for sales of pet portraits. These are marvelous.

Yes, I've seen obedience and agility competitions. My dogs would win a sleeping contest.

What you need to do is set up a booth with some very large shots mounted on canvas or something sturdy like Gatorboard and display them on the walls of your booth. Also put out smaller prints and a portfolio. You could arrange to do shots at the show and ship the finished photos later. These would really sell. The head shots are wonderful. If you do the whole animal, try not to make it look like it's floating. LOL
