Pet Personality In A Photo: Dachshund, Corgi, Collie, Cat & Cockatoo Portraits #DogwoodWeek4 Headshot

1/30/2016

Typist: Bethany
Photographing three dogs while out on dog friendly adventures is enough of a daily challenge. When I throw adventure cat Amelia and traveling cockatoo Leo into the pet friendly outing mix, I very rarely get a picture with all five pets in perfect photograph form. But I do get a variety of group pet photos that display each pets individuality, serve the "we were here together" purpose, and give me a good chuckle. Perhaps it is the togetherness aspect of our adventures or that I am a glutton for punishment but I rarely photograph any of the pets alone. Shooting headshots for the Dogwood Photography 52 Week Photography Challenge seemed like the perfect opportunity to see what I could do with only one pet at a time in front of my camera. Any change in routine can be difficult. In this case, moving from photographing multiple pets to just one was indeed a challenge.

The first challenge for me this week was choosing the pet portrait location and best lighting. I toyed with the idea of shooting each pet in their favorite place but the lighting in some of those places would not make for the classy portrait the dogs, cat and cockatoo deserved. So upon settling on photographing the pet's headshots outdoors, it rained buckets for days. Then I got a cold. I also knew that getting the right angle and clarity in these photographs would take an extra set of human hands. And Jason did a lot of traveling for work last week. Photo challenge indeed! But at last, the sun came out, I was able to get out of bed, and the neighbor was kindly available to help pet wrangle. Like all challenges, the tougher it is, the greater the reward. And I absolutely love each headshot! Like an excellent portrait should do, these photos perfectly display the individual personalities of my beloved pets.

Thank you Jan! You should join this challenge too! You did such a great job with the 52 Snapshots challenge. This one has a more loose timeline since there is no blog hop. There are a few groups on Facebook I can direct you to if you want to learn more or take on the challenge. Let me know!

They're all so sweet! I love how all the boys are somewhat matchy with their markings.

How fun!! I love all these pictures. And Leo's cracks me up. He is a real gem in front of the camera. Huxley has the collie smile going on and the other two look very serious. And of course I love that you did the pets for the head shots (of course!!). We will be doing the same, just a few weeks behind you.

Such a crew you have there! Does your cat ever bother the bîrd?

It used to scare us the way Amelia would seem like she was hunting Leo. I have never had a cat take so long to figure out the birds inside is different than the birds outside! But now she and Leo are actually the best of friends. She always comes as close as she can when Leo gets out of his cage so they can share a "kiss."
