I’ve been volunteering lately, coming in to photograph their new (older) pups. The workflow there is much faster than my typical approach.
If you’re a hero who’s up for taking in an older pup, get yourself over there!

I 'discovered' Coby the white, fluffy, and cuddly while at the while he was cruising some very high-end , and barking at the gallerist for 's collection of submerged dogs in formaldehyde. I knew I wanted to photograph him, especially since all white dogs against a white background require the tip-ity-top of my skill set to capture. I waited patiently before approaching him, then sure enough, I got his number.

Stoked for Halloween tomorrow! And I have a neighbor who hands out a full-size candy bar with a $5 bill! So, what I do (obviously) is hire a kid to get the goods, pay him a handsome $1.50 and split the candy bar. Unless it’s an Almond Joy or similar, then I let the kid keep it.

Photographing a yak had always been a dream of mine, so you can imagine my delight when the opportunity finally arrived!

The day had already been a whirlwind of capturing other animals on a studio set up in a barn aisle, complete with all the gear, four assistants, and the invaluable help of the ranch crew. When we decided to bring Yakoo onto the set, we weren’t quite sure how it would go, but we were eager to give it a shot.

However, it quickly became clear that the stage I had brought, great for goats and the mini cattle from that day, was simply too small for a full-grown yak. So, we pulled the stage away, leaving Yakoo to stand on the barn’s dirt floor. This presented a creative conundrum for me, as I prefer a clean studio setup for my animal portraits, and a dirt floor was far from my usual approach.

Things got a bit more chaotic from there—yaks are enormous, and my already tight set became tighter. Moving between the camera, lights, and computer to make adjustments was challenging. And then, as I sat on the dirt floor, camera at the ready, tethered to my computer, Yakoo decided to move... directly towards me! In a split second, I tucked my camera close and rolled out of her way, hoping to protect both myself and my gear. Thankfully, Yakoo was gently guided back onto the set, and with my heart racing, I began snapping photos, all the while knowing I was sort of winging it without having the ability to refine things as I typically would.

I did manage to capture some wonderful shots of Yakoo, but with the barn floor not fitting my visual style and the limited ability to fine-tune the lighting, I found myself letting the images sit for a while as I pondered which ones were worth finishing and how to tackle that pesky floor. But now, after some time and careful consideration, I’ve finally completed a few, well, two, I'm a less is more kind of guy—and to my surprise, I’m liking them, dirt floor and all! Do you? Let me know in the comments.
Thanks, cheers, and stay tuned for more in my next post.
