Soul Dogs - Six

Pretty Husky Girl

This is Apache’s girlfriend and I really wish I could remember her name. Where Apache was a charmer, this gorgeous lady was quiet and reserved. I’m sure the puppies they created would have been just adorable. I’m having serious puppy withdrawals, so I might have to go back through the archives today in search of some babies I’ve photographed in the past.

For those of you in the US, I hope you are all having a wonderful Labor Day holiday. Unfortunately for me, friends of ours had a great party last night and I think today is going to be a write-off.

Soul Dogs - Five

Today’s soul dog is Morleigh. She is a Rottweiler cross who I photographed near Brisbane a few years back. Morleigh and Ali (from last week) were the craziest dogs I have ever photographed. They were extremely hyperactive and didn’t sit still for a moment. Their Mum was so worried that I wouldn’t get any decent shots of the two of them, but I was extremely happy that I ended up with some really great shots. I was so pleased that their characters came through in the photos. I affectionately refer to Morleigh as the clown, becuase I don’t think I’ve ever photographed another dog with such expressions.

Apache

I just love this photo of Apache…he’s such a handsome boy. When I was running my pet photography business, I was lucky enough to have a few clients in Melbourne, Australia who wanted photos of their show dogs. I made the trip down for the photo shoots and made a long weekend of it in my favourite Australian city.

Apache is quite the champion and was going to be mated soon after this photo shoot. Boy I wish I could have seen his puppies.

The yard in which this photo shoot took place had all these great colours and urban textures, so I took the opportunity to have a play around with some artistic effects on this final piece.

Soul Dogs Collection - Two

Rennie is the second of six images in the Soul Dog Collection. His photograph was taken during my first ever client photoshoot. I much prefer his portrait in colour, but for the purpose of the collection, I had to process his image the same as the other five photos.
