Frequently Asked Questions

No, we are happy to photograph any sort of pet you might have.
So far we have worked with horses, donkeys, rabbits and cats; but we would be more than happy to shoot something more exotic if that is what you want.

No, we ask that you stay with us during the shoot.
The dogs like to have a friendly face around, it helps them to stay relaxed, and a relaxed dog is a happy dog. But try not to distract the dog during the photoshoot, we want your dog’s attention on the photographer.

We haven’t failed yet, but we are not here to judge you or your dog on obedience skills. The studio is a strange place for a dog, and it might take them a little time to get used to it.
Just stay calm and let the photographer do his thing. He does know what he is doing.

In the studio it can help if your dog knows a few basic commands (sit, stay, etc), may be take a look at the information here for some help. But it is amazing what a few practice runs with some nice rewards can achieve in a short space of time. But, if we find we are still having problems then we can use a lead if necessary, and this can be removed in post production.

If you have a really active dog you might want to think about a location shoot. Some action photography would really capture the spirit of your active dog.

No, not really, we can remove leads in post production.
In some cases it may be necessary to have your dog on a lead to get the exact shot you are looking for (without them wandering off to sniff something!). Obviously “action” shots are not really possible while the dog is on a lead.
