Pet photography

Last week a good friend of mine, the award winning pet photographer Paul Walker, of Paws Pet Photography, was down for two days running a pet photography workshop.

I had arranged the pet models at a variety of locations around Market Harborough; two lovely dogs in East Langton, a stables visit to Naseby - where there were horses, dogs, and cats, plus turkeys and partridges (!) - and three Jack Russells in Market Harborough on the afternoon of the second day.

Watching Paul at work and the way he demonstrated his control and understanding of the pets was an excellent practical demonstration of his skills.

As I had arranged all of the pet models, and as they're all local and I knew I would have the opportunity of revisiting the locations with the owners, I didn't take too many images, but the following are a sample of some of the variety, including 'the dog whisperer' and 'the horse whisperer' in action (!):













And not forgetting the turkeys. The next image was taken whilst in the turkey and chicken run, and the image after whilst sitting amongst some 50 or 60 eight week old turkeys in their pen!





Tuesday afternoon, with the lovely Setters Esme and Tilley, was a washout with hard driving rain, so I went back a few days later to photograph them:
