Now this extremely handsome Rottweiler was a bit of a handful at first to photograph. But luckily having 3 dogs of my own, I know the way to a dogs mind …. well actually his stomach. With a “titbit” in one hand I was able to get the dog to look towards the light & with the other hand , quickly fired off the shots.
For dog portraits, you only get limited time to keep a dogs attention, so be quick 
I quite like the end shot, what do you think ? Feel free to add a comment below

1 January, 2012 - 12:18 am - I just got an LX5 and was doing some lx5 google searches and found your site. I really like the photos of your snauzer. Do you shoot these in B&W mode from the camera or do you convert the color images to B&W in post processing? Thanks, and I like your work. (cool cars too!) Regards, John
1 January, 2012 - 1:35 pm - Hi John. Thanks for your comments. Re LX5 I always shoot in colour and then convert to B&W in Photoshop, as this process ensures maximum detail / tones are achieved. Hope that helps.
14 January, 2012 - 7:50 am - This is an amazing portrait! I love the lighting... and that is my question.. how did you light did? It looks like you used some kind of strobe to me, and I was wondering where you placed the lights? Again, great shot!
14 January, 2012 - 10:34 am - Thanks for your comment. Lighting was as per Lighting Setup 2 here :- http://www.davidjameswilliams.com/photography-tutorials/friday-freebie-10-example-studio-lighting-setups-with-photos/
