Dyn Llun Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 One of my first professional paying photography commissions, (when I was 15) was to photograph a Golden Retriever. I even remember his name, Major. Many years later my Black Labrador Gus used to travel everywhere with me on location. He used to sit patiently under the tripod while I was composing and focussing under the darkcloth and only run out after he heard the shutter go off.

Rich I go to a lot of pet expos. There are usually a photographer or two with a booth selling their services. Some offer free services to the expo of taking pet portraits for free or a very nominal fee to build a client base. Pet people are like parents. Maybe they get one for free, but when they see the shoot will tend to buy more or order a larger print. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Thanks... No pet expos around here. I live in rural America, but gosh, there are sure a lot of dog owners around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nacke Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Richard, I grew up in Eastern Washington, my first job was picking up police reports for the Wenatchee Daily World, Then doing pictures for the paper with a PENTAX Spotmatic. Back to the OP, Dogs and Cats are small change. Doing great images of Horses is real money, I have a friend in Newport RI that gets $10,000 for a horse portrait. Keep in mind the she arrives with a 16ft truck, two assistants and over 10,000 watts of studio strobes. I do miss water skiing on Lake Chelan, had a 140 Merc outboard V hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
