Puppies and Kittens Rule!

We recently had the privilege of shooting pet portraits for the GA SPCA.  The portraits are used on their website profiles for viewing by prospective adopters.  Photographing puppies and kittens is a unique experience.  They are much more interested in playing than posing for the camera.  The lighting setup is simple with a softbox and reflector on the subjects, another light on the background, and  the camera focus was set for moving subjects because puppies and kittens are only still when they are sleeping.

 

Rascal certainly lives up to his name.

 

Milo is checking everything out.

Fenway is cute as a button and was definitely the mover and shaker of the group.

 

Maurice enjoyed dribbling the ball.  Maybe there is a sports scholarship in his future.

 

Mario struck a pose.... for a split second.

Whizzer was more than happy to pose outdoors.  He is an 9 month old English Springer Spaniel/Shepherd mix and is just a wonderful personality.

And of course what would a pet portrait session be without kit kits.  Eyore strikes a regal pose

It was our pleasure to work with some dedicated volunteers to get these photographs. Many of these pets are already adopted, but there are many more waiting for good homes.  You can contact the Georgia SPCA in Suwanee at (678) 765-2726 to see if they have a pet for you.

Have a great day,
George

Invasion on Peachtree Street

This is the time of year that Dragon Con  comes to Atlanta.  It is billed as the world's largest science  fiction, gaming and fantasy convention and is great fun for participants and onlookers.  One of the highlights is the Dragon Con parade on Peachtree Street.  Here are some images from this year's parade.

The crowds were six deep at Peachtree Center.

An interesting array of characters and beautiful weather made for a memorable day and unique images.

Have a great day,
