Lola is the best, tirelessly posing for me as I fudge about with new lighting and backdrops.
I never used to like studio shots of dogs, but the more I do it, the more I like it. I can see why a lot of people prefer for me to shoot their dogs this way. Outdoors, or at someone's home, is still great for closeups and shallow depth of field shots, or shots where the owners are there too. But when it's the dog (or cat or whatever) alone, I think the seamless background really brings out the personality.
The only problem with this setup is that animals usually aren't comfortable in front of a bunch of lights, especially when it's not at their home. And the best part of shooting animals is capturing them as candids; when their true personality shows through.
