So gorgeous! :-)) Very cute dog, and you captured it great! I think background and light is great too! Perhaps... if I look really hard, I might feel that there a soft pink tone in the dogs fir.

Thanks, Kurt. I definitely will check out that web site and I'll have a look at your portfolio. The fabric is corduroy from a big fabric store chain that had it on sale. I also got some green felt material. Both seem to be hair magnets so I'll have to be careful of that.
Dave, I was wondering if someone would comment about that. It bothers me a bit, too, because his darker fur does blend in a bit. I'm going to try to use the lighter-colored material for darker animals, assuming I have time to change between appointments. I tried that on one of my cats, who's a very dark gray, and it seemed to work well. A background light or maybe a hair light would help with the separation and I'm going to experiment with that on my critters this week but, as you say, that might be difficult because they don't sit still for long. I know what you mean about their expressions. We have two dogs and three cats and I have varying degrees of success with them. No doubt I'll encounter the entire range with the customers' pets.

Here is my attempt to show how stupid I am, but I would try to separate the dog from the background. Seems the dog blends into the background too much. Either a slight change in the color ... maybe a little lighter or a light on the background. I know the little guys don't always want to sit while you fiddle with the lights.
My dog puts this stupid expression that gives the impression "Why are you pointing that thing at me?" and none of the photos are worth much.

Mark,
Really nice picture!
I own a Great Dane (see my portfolio) which we do shows with (see my portfolio).
On one of the shows I met a guy ho is living from dog photography. On the show he is the photographer in ?the ring of winners? and has a lithe studio on site. Maybe look at his website to get more ideas.

But looking at your picture I don?t think you need more info/ideas!!!
What kind of fabric store did you went too for the backdrop (I have interests as well), is it a curtain?

I think this is lovely. I think the backdrop works well - the soft texture looks good against the dog's hair. Good soft lighting too. Great job! (and very cute model)
