Three years before this journalist has questioned how her life was going
. Both her job and brother has slipped away from her life. Being a photographer and her dog was all she had in her name. Along with this she had her website www.dogumentarian.com and her idea for a business with it.
As a start she took pictures of dogs from her home in San Francisco and for a different take she decided to do them in black and white. Even though she just started her work was always seen as something refreshing.
Due to her background her work also became something that was unique different from what people are used to seeing. In order to get a good shot her technique was to do it in a documentary way. Most hobbyists take pictures for the love of the art and not for money. Since I was a photojournalist back in the day using the documentary style of shooting comes natural to me.
To make the most out of the picture she shoots them on location. It is also important to have patience in this career. Working with a dog can be hard to before anything she makes a point to get to know the animal. She said she wanted the dog to just be a dog, and not to perform.
Eight to ten hours is how long a certain portrait would take her to make and she charges about $200 to $500 for it. Normally she would entertain people like single women, gay couples, and more traditional families without children or whose children are grown. Not only has her work been seen in California but also in other parts of the United States.
Many of the people who approach her also love their dogs so much. Just like professionals, these pet photographers also have their set of skills that make they stand out from the crowd. As with selecting a wedding photographer, choosing someone to take an artistic portrait of your pet requires some search to achieve a lifetime of satisfaction.
The primary consideration in selecting a local or regional professional is a photographer's style. Can you be sure that the style you choose now will be something you will still appreciate over the years? In order to get the results that you like, it is always best to, in the beginning; already establish a connection with the work of the photographer. Keep in mind that working with a photographer should be a comfortable experience.
