This was the trickiest shoot to date. Used OCF but struggled to get exposure correct, without reflections off the wardrobe doors.
Took owner and dog outside, but as dog hadn't been exercised, it was hard to get her still enough to get in shot with owner.

This project is teaching me something though - this type of photography is very difficult to undertake on high energy dogs that have not been exercised, and therefore I need to be more assertive about when the sessions take place.. I think this will be easier when and if I have paying clients.
The other lesson I am learning is that when people book a shoot with me, I intend to take a deposit at the time of booking, because I have been cancelled, postponed, rebooked several times already during the course of this project.
My heart wants to ditch the flash and stick to beautiful, natural light...but my head says if I keep on with flash I might master it someday!!...which reminds me, a friend sent me this link which I must go and check out to brush up my flash skills.
