Working with dogs in a studio environment can be challenging for even an experienced
photographer. How those challenges are approached may determine the outcome of the
session. With 30+ years’ experience in animal behavior and 12 years working with and
photographing dogs, Ann shares best practices for safely and successfully photographing dogs
in a studio environment. From planning the sessions and setting expectations, to approaching
the many challenges that come with studio dog photography, including nervous dogs, untrained
dogs, special needs dogs, puppies, multiple dogs, etc. Every dog is a unique product of their
environment, socialization, life experiences, and genetically distinct history, so every session
should be tailored to that unique personality to achieve the best results.
