Stunning image, superb work. Fewer challenges greater than photographing black dogs. However, this is a wonderful example of how it really can be done! Bravo :-)

Behind The Lens

Location

The living room of an acquaintance

Time

Around midday set up of camera used to reduce ambient light

Lighting

Single speedlight and exybox used for exposing picture

Equipment

canon 5d3 and 24-70 2.8L USMII

Inspiration

I spotted this lovely chap working through my local park with his owner. His name is Geoff he is a real gentle giant. I have always had a soft spot for GSD so approached the owner and asked if she would allow me to shoot at a later date in exchange for a 16x12 print, and left her with a card to my website so she could think about it and let me know. Thankfully she got back to me the following day and a date was set to photograph Geoff at his home.

Editing

Basics covered in the picture including contrast,levels and sharpening nothing complex at all.

In my camera bag

Depends i shoot for a living so bag depends on assignment, I choose betwen two body's 1dx and 5d3 and main stay of lens are 17-40 F4L, 24-70 2.8L USM II, 70-200 F2.8L ISII, 100 2.8L Macro , 600Rt speedlights.

Feedback

Take your time balance the ambient light for the effect you want, and take plenty of dog treats!!! Placing treats on top of lens will help keep dogs attention.
