The Art of Dog

If you are checking out this blog you are likely either a photographer, a dog photographer and/or a dog lover.  If you, like me, enjoy all things dog, do not miss this wonderful site: Dog Art Today.

It is chock full of wonderful dog things! From 14th Century dog art to the winners of the best Dog wine labels.

I was contacted in 2008 by Moira, the author of the blog, to tell me she had featured my blog! I was thrilled that she liked it and humbled to be found amongst such wonderful dog art. If you’d like to see that post check it out here.

For me, dog photography is all about working hard to create art. Believe me, there are easier ways to take photos of dogs! But when you get letters such as this after a beloved pet has passed, you’re so glad you took the time….

“I just wanted to thank you for the incredibly beautiful and moving pictures you took of our little girl, Brandi.  You truly captured her spirt and sweetness. Seeing her images throughout our home keeps her memory always fresh in our minds and close to our hearts.  Again, thanks so much for your incredible talent, without it, these pictures would not exist.”

So, if you’re a dog lover who wants to take better images or a professional photographer thinking of expanding into the niche of pet photography, come visit with us in September.  We’ll make some great dog art!

Dog Photography Workshop – Chicago, Illinois

Fine art dog photography workshop

This is a cooperative effort between Teresa Berg (in Dallas), Barbara Breitsameter (in Chicago) and Bev Hollis (in Virginia/D.C.). We saw a real need for a workshop dealing with the many different aspects of fine art dog photography. Representing three different styles from three different geographic areas, it’s exciting to work together and offer a real variety of techniques and styles for other photographers. The first workshop is scheduled for September 18-20 in Chicago -with long range plans to offer the similar workshops in D.C. and Dallas.
