Project 52 - Hungry ~ BC pet portrait photography

This week the theme for P52 was "Hungry". I figured this was going to be an easy week - Caiman is a world class drooler, and I have many good drooling photos in my files. I was confident that I could get new photos like that this week.

Wrong...

Caiman didn't drool for me at all! Well, not in any way that I could catch in photographs. So I had to flip to Plan B and take photos of breakfast. I got some cute wrinkles in his nose though, so it is all good.

This is a photo from last year that shows what I was expecting to get. I call it "Bubbles".

Project 52 - Spotlight ~ BC Pet Photography

This week the theme for Project 52 was Spotlight.

I took my old boy, Caiman, out to the garage studio and set up my lights. We played around with several different light set ups and combinations, and I got quite a few photos that I am really pleased with. I'm only going to share the ones that fit the Spotlight theme today, but I expect you will see the others another time. In the end he got tired of sitting for me (he has a bad back, and is getting very wobbly, so even for liver he is only cooperative for so long) and we called it a day. I had some more lighting ideas that we will just have to try again later.

Project 52 - Triptych ~ Squamish Pet Portrait Photographer

This week the theme for the Beautiful Beasties Project 52 group is Triptych. We were free to interpret that any way we wished.

This is Polar. I originally expected to use three shots of his face in my triptych but it turns out that long and slinky ferrets practically beg to be used in long and skinny formats.
