Spring Photo Session with Dog In South London
Pets add a different dimension to a photoshoot, and it is no different with couples photography sessions. Whenever there is a dog involved, people and children tend to relax much quicker in front of the camera than in situations without a dog. So, during this spring couples and dog photography session in Wimbledon, we got straight into some loving and relaxed moments. It was an overcast day, which provided even lighting for all my subjects.
Dog and Couple Photography
I quite like to start the session with a together image of the couple and their four legged friend. This can be with a couple having a cuddle with their dog, or walking along a path. I try to observe the interaction and capture genuine moments which grab my attention and catch my eye. This path by a pond with trees scattered around appeared like a great setting for a walking (or running!) shot so we spent some time exploring different angles. This was my favourite image of the lot - I like how the trees in the foreground and background frame the dog and the couple in the distance.
Dog Portrait Photography
After the initial group shot, I move on and take several different dog portrait photographs. During this shoot, a lovely patch of sand by a pond in Wimbledon common caught my eye, so I decided to photograph the dog here. I love how the dog is contrasted by the sand in this portrait, no distractions but looking strait into her beautiful hazel eyes.
Surrey Dog Photographer
I work all across the South East, and have been to many beautiful locations. Surrey offers great locations for pet and couple photoshoots - it has beautiful towns, nature reserves and wooded areas but also has great countryside in the middle of urban areas - like Wimbledon common. This time of year, common gorse is in full bloom and Wimbledon common has plenty of gorse shrubs - a perfect backdrop! Incorporating nature into photoshoots gives a sense of place but also a sesnse of time as you will always be reminded of the time of year the photoshoot took place.
Photographing Dogs In Action
A dog photoshoot wouldn’t be complete without some fun action shots. Photographing dogs in action is great fun and reveals another layer of dog’s personality. Here - a head on action shot taken from a low angle, with three legs in the ear and ears flapping high, it shows the dogs love of running and makes for a really fun image.
