That girl asked me, if I can do more photos with her dog. She is studying as a dog handler.

Please, meet Lea the girl and Jerry Li (the dog).

I see all the pictures are pretty clear and take depth clean shot. But as a photo designer I think face retouching and hair masking could be better.

Hello!

Actually, there is not much post processing. I just cropped and raise shadows a bit. These shots are not commercial, of course.

Great set, #10 brought back memories of our Boxer, Lola. She loved to run and jump high like that. It could be a little unnerving to see 60lbs of dog flying past you at eye level. My only negative is that as a whole these could've benefited from fill, either flash or reflector.

Nice set, if I had to give some constructive advice I'd caution about cropping out tiny bits of feet and tails. Example with #3, instead of just cropping off a bit of a toe bring the shot in closer. It's a really nice shot but the legs don't really add to the story. But that's just my opinion, we all see things differently

Hello BillM!

Thanks for your feedback. At #4 you can see cropped photo (it was made from the same distance as #3).

Yeah, I was using just X100T compact with no flash. Next time I'll try to use built in flash.

She's lovely and it's a good series. To me, the photos that work best, are the ones that have a casual "candid" feel to them rather than a posed "portrait" feel.

You've got a couple of shots where you just clip a head or a foot so watch that. Also, a couple in the shade where her face has mottling on it (mix of sun and shade) so look for an overcast day or all shade or shoot earlier/later in the day. Also, you'll notice on one of the jumping shots her arm (closest to the camera) blocks her face. What I find for "action" shots like this is you talk to the model first, get her to replicate the pose just by her, than add the dog. That way you can find ways to make her post more graceful or flowing.
