HOW TO: Photograph Boisterous Dogs | Dog Photography for beaut shots of loveable loonies like Frank
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- Join us for a mini BTS of this studio dog photography session with Frank! Frank is a rescue Labrador who had zero training, manners or self control when he was first adopted by Oli's family - he's known as Frank the Tank and he is super sweet but very boisterous. His owners have been working on his health and behaviour so currently he has a sit for snacks and can give his paw, but apart from that, this dog photography session in studio was, in theory, going to be really hard...
Never fear though, with a few simple steps even the craziest of dogs can be photographed easily, and well, in any environment - including in the studio. All of the tips in this video can and should be applied to other environments too!
MTog's: We have a full BTS on the way for you guys, and we can do an edit if you'd like!
We ended up with a full gallery of client ready shots and a couple that could, and probably will, be entered into awards with merit aims this year 🙌

I don’t think Frank has missed too any meals lately 😊
I love seeing the timer go up but knowing the video is over 11 minutes - bonus content!
😂😂 I am so bad at keeping in the 5 minutes. I mean I could cut it down but then valuable content is lost 🙈
This is fantastic, what a gorgeous boy Frank is 😍
He really is and those puppy dog eyes! Sooooo cute 😊
Fantastic video as usual Jess. Love the way you know the correct way how to be around excited or otherwise dogs. Fantastic photos too 👏🏻 👏🏻
Thank you so much Stewie that's really kind 🙏 It really does make all the difference to be calm around them. Frank was such a legend 👌
This was super smart & helpful. You got such great shots of him. That yellow was really cute for him
Thank you Ashley 🙏 Yeah, I thought the same about the yellow backdrop 👌 super cute!
You make it look so easy. It’s only when people try it for themselves they can grasp what a genius you are! Queeeeeen!
Thank you for your kind words 😊
Love how calm you are - Frank the Tank was such a good boy bless him. If you want a boisterous dog just shout ha ha I have two!!!
Being calm is vital when working with a boisterous dog, a top tip would be avoiding eye contact 🙂
Your way of interacting with dogs is so impressive! 10/10. ☺️❤️
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Your makeup looks so nice😊
When Frank layed his head down and looked up, I thought my heart was going to melt ❤️
Thank you for your kind words and Frank is a heart melter 😍
As you can guess, I LOVE Frank the Tank! So typical of Labrador enthusiasm for all the things! And handsome!!! Great advice as usual and beautiful images of him!
Who doesn’t love Frank 😍 glad you found the advice useful 😊
this was great. your lighting amazes me. and what color is that yellow I love it.
The cutest photos ever!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you! It seems I'm saying that a lot recently. I'm definitely one of those, "PUPPY!!!!!" people. Remaining calm, may be a bigger challenge for me than the dog. Great tips!
We love hearing from you and getting your feedback, thank you so much 🙏 I know! staying calm around a puppy is a real challenge 😄
This was awesome Jess! You make things looks so easy. I notice that you do things in comfort … love the slippers! Hoping for more in studio videos and how did you make your floor the same colour as the background? What is the first floor that Frank posed on? Looked like wooden flooring.
I have a tank too, thanks for the advice, i always have a hard time when i when to photograph her.
Hopefully this video helps you with your tank going forward, even if it just a little bit 🙂
Omg ignoring the dog that sounds so hard to do, but yielding great results. Just yesterday I bumped into a cute puppy and I played with him and then tried to take pictures of him and as soon as I would go down he would wanna run to me to play some more making taking a simple snapshot so difficult. Guess next time picture first play later. Thanks for the great video
Yeah it can become super difficult once you have interacted with the dog so best way is to pretty much ignore until after the shoot then you can have play time 😊
crazy frank...:) love him.
We do too ♥
Great video, frank is just the best.
He's soooooo gorgeous ❤️
Brilliant! Fabulous shots.
Thank you so much 🙏
Oh I'm in love with Frank
He is just adorable 🥰
This was so helpful. Loved the pictures.
Glad to hear you found this helpful and thank you for the kind words 🙂
Beautiful photos! Every time I watch you work I want to pic up my camera again. Very inspirational. Love a Labrador
Thank you for your kind words, you should pick your camera back up 🤓
That’s the cutest dog.
Frank is a big cutie 😍
I love this, great photographer who understand dogs behaviour (Y)
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Whatta good boy! Frank the tank
Frank is just adorable 😊 thank you for the kind words 😊
This was fantastic and very informative 👏 Your a wonderful teacher and have a great vibe! Thank you for always sharing helpful content! 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to give us feedback Deanna 🙏 It means a lot to us that you are enjoying the content we put out there 😊
Hi Jess. Stumbled across your page when checking out horse photography. I have a staffy that takes great pics, and is excitable. I train him, and new ppl exactly the way you handled Frank and his owner. Perfect. I do want to take some awesome pics like you have of him... Im still earning pet photography.. Loved your horse video with the Autumn colours..
Ill most likely view all your videos now. love your style and personality - Dave - Sydney Aust
Hi Dave, what great feedback, thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 calm is definitely key with excitable dogs/owners 😄 So pleased you've found us and I really hope you continue to like the content we put out there. Keep us posted on progress with your staffy 😊
I just love this video. So informative. Can you do more in studios like this one?
Thank you so much 🙏 Great to know you enjoyed it and more studio work is something we'll certainly be looking at 😊
Wow amazing and Frank was so good. I might try this with my 16 week old puppy spaniel 🥴😂
Thank you so much and Absolutely! 👏 that sounds like fun 😄
That was super helpful-thanks!
Glad you found it useful 😊
I found this very helpful. I noticed you actually instructed the dog in parts. Is that typical? Usually I leave that to the owner because I figure the dog wouldn’t listen to me.
I let the owners instruct the dog most of the time. I guess she stepped in as the Lab was very focused on the Ball in her Hand and not so much on his owner. For me its a thing of feeling. My own very reactive dog would get hyper very quickly with a foreign person and impossible to photograph. On the other hand I've had shootings with dogs who are not trained much and the owners are sometimes overwhelmed so I help as needed.
I love all of your videos, thank you so much for the effort you put into each. You are such and inspirational person. #DogLove
Thank you so much for your kind words and for your support 🙏 Hope you continue to enjoy the content we put out there 😊
That was fun.
It really was 😄
Amazing Jess. Thank you. Such great insight to great questions to ask before shooting! Would love to know the size of your backdrop if possible. I'm about to order a canvas drop. Yours looks like the perfect size. Thanks.
nice and suspiciously good timing. I had to cancel a session with a crazy schipperke a fortnight ago, and he's coming back to another try in a few days, so thanks for this.
Hopefully it goes well for you 😊 just remember ignore the dog and communicate in a soft tone 😊
@@ThatPhotographySpot Taa. I'm hoping that the environment not being all new this time might help a bit too, but not ignoring the dogo was my downfall last time I think.
This was a super helpful video. Are your mottled backdrops paper? thank you!
Thank you so much for those kind words 🙏 The back drops are fabric and are from Click Props, I’ve added a link to their website so you can take a look clickprops.co.uk/product-category/backdrops/ Hope this helps 😊
@@ThatPhotographySpot brilliant!
I mean all that is fine.
But wasn’t there anyone who was like, Why would they such a terrible thing? 😂 fml
This is so super useful Jess, thanks so much. I have a big session this weekend and wondering if we have a video somewhere where you show how to turn that rope into a slip knot? Or is it pretty basic and I should be googling that? 😅 thanks!
Thank you for your kind words and I think after last night you have the slip lead nailed 🤓😊
@@ThatPhotographySpot yes!!! 🙏🙏
Love these studio videos! What material are the textured/fine art backdrops made of and where do you buy them?
Thank you so much 🙏 The back drops are fabric and are from Click Props, I’ve added a link to their website so you can take a look clickprops.co.uk/product-category/backdrops/. Hope that helps 😊
I'm not the only one who thought you were actually shooting a dog.
May I know what sized soft boxes you are using? I've pressed the link and it links to a rectangular one!
The soft boxes are 105cm easy open (product code D-180202), the can be purchased from PixaPro (essentialphoto.com) using discount code 10OFFTPSJM 🙂
Hello! What material do you use for the background? cardboard or foam?
Paper 👌
Hi Jess, hope you are well. Was wondering if you can do a video like this for a client photoshoot in an outdoor setting? I am new to dog photography and want to start a business but am worried about working with an inexperienced client dog. How can I get them to do what I need?
Regards
Dylan
Hi Dylan, there are two full end to end client shoots inside our Members Vault including resources on reading and managing dog behaviour too ☺️
@@ThatPhotographySpot thanks for that. Your content is really great and informative. ❤️
It is obvious you know how to take pictures of dogs.
Thank you 🙏
