Thats just a simple 2 light set up, i had to shoot on a stool for the big dogs because my backdrop stand would not go higher and the bar area was quite high

i understand now that it would be difficult in that set up doing bigger dogs.. but if you had a little time to rearrange the lamps or maybe add one more it would have been easier..any way does it matter..your photos are outstanding... that is the bottom line.. i would be so happy

Thankyou, just keep practising look for good light, if he will sit and stay find a nice location with a clean background and try using a reflector to bounce some light into the shot

Bigger dogs are easy, you just need the right light.....

The last one of the brown dog still had a shutter speed of 1/50s. Too slow to handhold and photograph a moving animal. You want to be at a minimum of 1/125s for your shutter- shooting in daylight, this should not be an issue.

i shot the brown dobie in the snow.. notice the bottom whiskers..that was from this past winter.. i just felt bad always showing off my collie so i added the dobie.. thanks so much for the advice...your dog is breathtaking,so proud ..what kind is he/she? i know i know the breed but just cannot think of it......I love the way the grass rug hugs him and then his color is just stunning..I also appreciate your reply..and sharing your awesome dog.i am happy you gave me some specific settings for shutter speed to try out tommorrow..
