Prai, a women's make up company goes around the country and sponsors "Free Shelter Days". They pick up the adoption fees for any animal adopted. Set up some primitive lighting...since I know nothing about lighting and a backdrop...anyway 1 of my favorites.

Sweet set. Couldn't help noticing that the newly adopted dogs were licking their new owners' faces.

Well that is what they wanted...interactive shots.

However, setting this up I dealt with like 4 different people who said they wanted different types of shots...as in the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing X 2. So I decided I am just gonna shoot what I would like.

We do, 30-40 animals a week for adoption photos used on social media. We get paid more nothing than other volunteers.

But not gonna work for a profit company for free.

And I always say this. If you want to improve your photography, no matter what your skill level, go shoot for an animal shelter.

I have seen people who couldn't get a shot in focus to save their lives get great. People who couldn't get an action shot master that skill.
People who didn't know anything about their camera come to grips with it. Most importantly. you will learn light. Harsh shadows in daylight clouds and indoor light.

Because when you shoot at an animal shelter it is your job to put a face on that building, otherwise it is just a building...and the pressure is on...
