Animal Shelter Photography

Hello everyone,
I recently rescued a dog from a shelter and in doing so came to understand that for the most part, the photos that they use are not very good and do not show the dogs in their best light. My wife and I decided to volunteer to photograph their dogs for their web site to hopefully generate more interest and more adoptions of these beautiful pets. If any of you could spare a little time, I'm sure your local shelters would welcome your expertise. You will need an assistant to control the dogs. I used a card table with a fabric cover and a backdrop, one Nikon SB800 flash, 36" umbrella and a D7100. If we can help to place more of these animals into good, loving homes it will indeed be a Happy New Year. Best to all in the new year.

Thank you for your good deed. These animals all deserve a loving home and a loving person to take care of them.

From your lips to his ears. The recue I shoot for is a no kill rescue. They have had a few dogs for 9 and ten years. Not all are adoptable for many reasons. This husband and wife care for an average of 100 dogs at great expense to them. The photos are the very least we can do.
