Location
This photo was taken in the living room of a friend, whose hand is featured in the image with her dog.Time
Approximately 1pmLighting
This was all natural light from the large picture window in the living room. We set up a small black backdrop, and posed both the model and her dog in front without blocking the light.Equipment
Canon Rebel T3 with Sigma 18-200 lensInspiration
Viewbug was featuring a love of animals contest, and this was the first idea that came to my mind when I read the details. Its simple, but shows the bond between a person and their petEditing
Slight increase in contrast to add more detail and depth, and changing image to black and white using ElementsIn my camera bag
Depends on the shoot. In this case it was just me and my cameraFeedback
Animals arent always the most cooperative. Sometimes you have to improvise. This was the fifth attempt to get this image, as the dog wasnt too keen on participating. If it doesnt look like you're going to get the shot you have in mind, try something else. You may be surprised at what you get.
