Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I REALLY LIKE TO WALK MY DOG ALONG THE BEACH, HE LIKES TO RUN IN THE SEA TOO - IS THIS POSSIBLE DURING OUR PET PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE?
A. YES OF COURSE! THE WHOLE IDEA OF THE EXPERIENCE IS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE A LOCATION WHERE YOUR DOG IS AT HIS HAPPIEST. BEACHES AND THE SEA ARE VERY POPULAR CHOICES. JUST REMEMBER, WHICHEVER VENUE YOU CHOOSE THE WELFARE AND SAFETY OF THE ANIMAL IS OF UPMOST IMPORTANCE AND THUS THE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY LIES WITH THE OWNER.
Q. WHY DO YOU PREFER ENVIRONMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY, I THOUGHT MOST PHOTOGRAPHERS ONLY WORKED FROM A STUDIO?
A. I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO STUDIOS, I TOO HAVE A MOBILE STUDIO THAT I CAN SET UP IN YOUR OWN HOME SHOULD YOU SO WISH HOWEVER, USING NATURAL LIGHTING IN NATURAL SURROUNDINGS IS A NECESSITY WHEN MY AIM IS TO CAPTURE THE NATURAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE ANIMAL AND THE LITTLE THINGS THEY DO THAT THE OWNERS LOVE SO MUCH AND WANT RECORDED. FLASHING BRIGHT LIGHTS CAN, IN SOME CASES SCARE PETS.
Q. I REALLY LOVE THE IDEA OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL PHOTO SHOOT RATHER THAN A 'STATIC' STUDIO EXPERIENCE BUT MY DOG HAS BEEN ATTACKED AND I AM FRIGHTENED TO LET HIM OFF THE LEAD. WHAT CAN YOU DO?
A. I CAN TRULY UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS. SOME YEARS AGO MY BEST FRIEND, 'BILLY BUTTONS' MY 11 MONTH OLD YORKSHIRE TERRIER WAS CRUELLY TAKEN FROM WHILST WALKING IN A BUSY HERTFORDSHIRE TOWN. MY BOY WAS ON A LEAD, THE OTHER BIGGER DOG WAS NOT!
THE BEAUTY OF ENVIRONMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY IS THAT YOU THE CLIENT CHOOSES THE LOCATION, THE PLACE WHERE BOTH YOU AND YOUR DOG IS RELAXED. YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DOG ON IT'S LEAD. THE LEAD CAN EASILY BE REMOVED DURING POST PRODUCTION IN THE DIGITAL DARKROOM. IF SADLY, YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITH YOUR DOG THEN WE CAN USE YOUR GARDEN IF YOU HAVE ONE AND YOUR HOME TO OUR BEST ADVANTAGE. TOGETHER WE CAN FIND A WAY.
Q. MY DOG NEVER STAYS STILL LONG ENOUGH TO PHOTOGRAPH, I ONLY HAVE PHOTOS OF HIM WHEN HE IS ASLEEP!
A. THAT IS A SHAME! SO MANY PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES OF THEIR LOVED ONES WHETHER THEY ARE HUMANS OR PETS AND THEN IT CAN BE TOO LATE! DO NOT WORRY ABOUT AN ENERGETIC ANIMAL, I AM USED TO PHOTOGRAPHING LIVELY ONES...THAT'S ALL PART OF MY JOB!
Q. CAN I BOOK A PET PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE FOR A FRIEND?
A. YES OF COURSE! A PET PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE IS TO BE ENJOYED BY EVERYONE, GIFT VOUCHERS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR THAT PERFECT PRESENT - BIRTHDAYS, VALENTINES DAY, MOTHERS DAY, FATHERS DAY, CHRISTMAS, RETIREMENTS - IN FACT ANY OCCASION THAT YOU WISH TO CELEBRATE!
