I spent several years volunteering at our local animal shelter. I would take photographs of the animals there that they could use to show what animals are available for adoption on their website and social media. High quality photograph go a long way to helping shelter pets find homes. I would really like to bring this back as part of my regular work in photography. This cute cat was so interested in… Read More
Last year during my 2021 one photo a day project I am pretty sure I photographed our cats more than ever before. Our cat Peaches has the coolest contrast fur. And she has bright green eyes. She is the perfect photography subject most of the time. Especially if she is sitting in her cat tower. She will just sit there and allow me to do whatever I want to with my photography…. Read More
I enjoy taking photographs of all of our pets. One tool I have recently begun using to do that are Lume Cube Panel Mini lights. They are great for adding some additional light to low light situations. When I was crating this photo I was trying to convince Monkey to approach and settle down where I had set up the lights. She more than obliged. Monkey really wanted to check out these… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 340. I finally received some larger sized backgrounds for photography that had been on back order. And I was excited to give them a try. I thought I would use them in conjunction with photographing some portraits of one of our cats. Our cat Paisley has been really friendly lately and was hanging around my office already. I thought it would be easy to lure her… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 326. I think our cat, Peaches, has a real mischievous look to her in this photo. And that’s kinda funny because she is actually the least mischievous cat we’ve ever had. I used my white background to create a nice clean look for the background. That makes the subject of the portrait stand out. Peaches wasn’t sure what to make of the background. She was a… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 321. I feel like I haven’t don’t any pet portraits lately. I wanted to try using one of my solid backgrounds in conjunction with photographing one of our pets. Using the background with one of the animals would be interesting but have potential for really cool results. Our cat, Monkey, was up in her cat tower. I was able to set up the background behind her…. Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 258. Paisley is such an easy cat to work with. She doesn’t react to anything I am doing. I set up my lights. Paisley sits still. I get my camera out. Paisley does what a Paisley does. I point camera at her face. Paisley still relaxed and calm. Essentially Paisley does not care. Paisley Does not give a F*#&. This is actually a great quality for… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 240. Spent the day out and about. Wanted to try and see a sunset somewhere different today. The opportunity never materialized. So I came home. I turned my attention tot he cats. Hoping for an opportunity for a few cat portraits.
One photo a day challenge: Day 177. Back at indoor pet portraits today. I tried a little work with everyone today. I wasn’t popular. Almost everyone got up and walked away after a few photos. Our cat Paisley was patient with me today. I thought she was going to crawl up to me and rub her face right on the camera. She settled in and relaxed right up close though. I love… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 176. I have been doing a lot of outdoor photography lately. Today I decided to do some indoor photography of our pets. I decided to work with our cat Peaches. She is always cooperative. She can usually be found atop her cat tower. And she likes to sit relatively still. I photographed her close up using my macro lens with a shallow depth of field. I… Read More
