Never work with children or animals

I had intended to title this post as follows: "My new (animal) model arrives", but the shoot brought back all my previous experience of trying to photograph animals, especially in the studio. Admittedly I did not want chocolate box images - I wanted a bit of character in shots of my new puppy. What I got was chaotic movement. Something about the studio made Ben totally lose it. Ah well, I did get a few worthwhile images - I think !

 Note the artistic out-of-focused-ness of this image. Or maybe it's just mad movement. Anyway, not for Alamy, I think.

                               This one will do.

This was the kind of shot I was looking for.
