A man hasn't lived until he's had the love of a horse, a dog and a good woman
We love taking photographs of things we love - new borns, cats, dogs and sunsets. We love our dogs and cats so much that we forget about all the distractions. We put our dog on a red rug, have a post growing out of his head or take the pic when he's sound asleep.
Dogs look great when:
- their ears stick up (some models are floppy)
- their tongues hang out (all models have tongues

To get ears up, learn a high pitched call or whistle but use sparingly. For a lolling tongue food can work but a rag that's been wiped on a cat and stored in a plastic bag works wonders.
A couple of other tips for shooting your favourite hound:
- active shots are winners - at the beach running through the water
- shoot on high speed continuous
- shoot the relationship between dog and owner
- if its a black dog, wet his coat
