This popped into my fb memories from 6 years ago and it occurred to me that I’ve not shared it here or told the story that love of my dogs and art is what created this account!!
When Covid hit, I was working in corporate as a creative director even though I’d also been in photography for my whole adult life. When lockdown happened I started this project with my dogs, Rocco and Nala, as a creative assignment to bring me joy and keep me inspired and entertained. One of my degrees is in art history, so I decided to recreate all my favorite paintings from my favorite artists both living and dead, such as Rebrandt, Chuck Close, Frida Khalo, Degas, , and others. It is what kept me sane. It also had creative parameters so my dogs or myself would be ok doing it: each image was created in 20 minutes or less start to finish. Each dog only had to pose for 5 minutes and got copious amounts of treats. No AI was allowed (it didn’t even exist then!) and I could ONLY use items already in my apartment.
We don’t do it anymore, but this is the project that brought me back to photography, and made me make the decision to abandon corporate and concentrate on the joy of creating with dogs.
I thought you all might love it as much as I do and I can’t believe I’ve never posted it here!!
Let me know your favorite!!
