Doggie Style

Mental note: When shooting a dog fashion show do not sit at the end of the runway. The dogs will come right up and try to lick you.

Today's photo assignment was to shoot a dog fashion show. As I've never shot a dog fashion show before I wondered what that would entail. Chaos! But very funny chaos. Since this fashion show took place in a restaurant, there were a lot of people drinking. The runway was at about at waist level. This meant that the runway became a very convenient place to put your drink if you didn't want to hold it.


Some dogs had to be carried

Perhaps people forgot that there were dogs involved. One such bulldog tried sampling a glass of wine by putting it's face right into the cup. I was too busy laughing to actually take a picture. My job was to get pictures of the dogs in the various assortment of clothes.

Sitting in the front of the runway probably wasn't the best place to locate myself as dogs are better shot from the side. In the end it didn't really matter where I was as models were overlapping one another and the dogs were pulling them in different directions sniffing other dogs and being very aware of the huge audience.


Some dogs walked on via a leash

We were told that behind the scenes in the dressing rooms the dogs were having cases of stage fright, freely peeing on things and refusing to be brought to the cat walk.


I think this dog loved the attention.

Look at all the women that think a dog biting the trainer's foot is cute.
