....a rabbit.

Many of you have seen some recent efforts I've made to do pet portraits for a fundraiser. The following are some from the most recent shoot.

For the most part, the animals were great posers. When one family wanted a shot with their dog, cat and rabbit, we started out with the dog (not pictured), then added the cat (the fluffy one) for a second set. When the rabbit was brought in, the cat took a swipe at the rabbit, hissed and ran off. I ended up getting shots of the rabbit separately while the owner held him in a black towel on his back just so his feet would show. You have to admit it's not your average view, but they liked it.

Nice set. The Newfie shows why they wear bibs at dog shows until just before being shown. How did you light the animals?

The Newfie had quite a bit of drool that I removed in post. I don't think I could live with that kind of issue - big dog, big drool.

The light on the Newfie was natural. On the others there was a combo of natural and artificial (hand held).

Thanks for taking time for this post DMGill.

Vicki,
I am blown away by your pet portraiture!
You are so...damn...good!
The people owned by those pets must be thrilled with your work!

Vicky, you are really doing a fantastic job on your pet portraits! The lighting, colors and focus are spot on.
The second and last ones are my favorite.
