Pet photography is fun especially if you are a pet lover. I love pets! I love having them, cuddling them and playing with them. Especially small pets! Not really into cleaning the poop though. :D This is probably one of the reasons I prefer smaller pets.
I was tasked by Addiction, a premium pet foods brand to do a studio shoot for a series of pets some time back. It was exciting and an honor to be able to meet and work with owners of award winning pets. The shoot took 2 full days.
Here are some of the pictures:

I’ve been asked a couple of times on how I did the shot of the PUG (the little dog)?
Here’s the answer:
- Glass for the subject to stand on
- White ceiling or paper to act as the background
- Some way to light the subject without creating any reflections on the glass
To give you a better idea of how it was done, check this out:
It’s far from glamorous I agree. That idea was more of an impromptu thing and I made used of what ever I could find in the studio as well as some manpower.
Well, good luck trying and have fun!
Hi again! Had a great time taking pictures of Sirius, a well-trained and charismatic dog for a pet food company yesterday. It’s not every time that I meet a dog that is obedient and so lovable.
I’m in the midst of restructuring my Pet Photography workshop with Sony. If you are interested in Pet Photography, stay tuned and who knows, I may introduce you to my newfound friend!

Well I just learnt the answer to this on Wednesday. It just looks so wrong lol. Check out the thumbnail below! Let me know if you agree with me or for some reason you think its adorable in the comments below :D
This afternoon I installed a new soft ware, TwitterDeck. It allows you to update your status in multiple social accounts including pages in Facebook from just one application. It’s a pretty useful application and it’s free! And I know, we all love free stuff don’t we? If you know of a better application that does this and more, do share.
My trip to Vietnam is coming really close and I’m really excited about it. I haven’t really had a chance to plan on where to go and my buddy who is heading there with me is counting on me to do that O.O I’m gonna spend the next few hours figuring this out. Chao.
I mean it literally! Spent the afternoon shooting some pets yesterday for an upcoming workshop that I will be conducting. It was lots of fun! I had fur all over me and one of the dogs had a thing for one of my armpits. Must be the smell. Its sweet!
Was just invited by a friend of mine to go fishing this Friday. I would have joined him but it clashes with another of my workshops :( I doubt I would be doing any fishing anyway. I was hoping more for photography opportunities.
I remember being traumatized the last time I went fishing around 15 years ago. Firstly, I had to buy some really fat worms. Then, I had to hook through the front (the head?) and out of the other end. You can’t cheat on this! This makes it harder for the fish to bite just one portion of the worm and get away. It didn’t take long before I caught my first fish (beginners luck). Now I had to remove the hook! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get it out. At that point, an old man approached me and offered to help. He used his foot to hold the fish down and pull the hook out through the jaw. Freaking gross.
All right, enough of gross stuff for now.
I’ll be heading to Vietnam next week and Thailand again in August. Stay tuned for more pics :D

Be patient when shooting pets. The pet must feel comfortable with you as the photographer. Also, It helps if the owner is around to help.
