Pet Photography; Monday, Second Period [07/15].
"Hey, guys!" Prompto could be found waiting near the puppy pen, where he'd set up a few chairs if anyone wanted to sit in them while he did his lecture for the day, but, um, there was a puppy pen, why would anyone want to sit on a chair when they could be sitting with puppies? But that was neither here nor there. There was a folding table set up in front of him with a few boxes and a small stack of photo albums, and he had a projector screen set up behind him. "Welcome back for more pet photography! Today, we'll be focusing on dogs, but, before we get into that, I wanted to take a moment to hand these out to you guys. They're albums for the pictures you take in this class and outside of it; by the send of the session, I'd like you have collected enough pet and animal pictures to be able to present a portfolio at the very end of class, so I'll get these to you guys now so you can slowly start building it. Sound good? Any questions, let me know.
"But, like I said, today, I wanted to talk about dogs in pet photography, and there's a lot to work with there! Dogs are a pretty popular pet, especially in photography, because dogs are also pretty well-known for being able to be trained to perform. They're all such good boys! But if you're talking about dogs and photography, a lot of people are going to think about William Wegman, who is probably best known for his work in photographing Weimaraners specifically, in costumes and settings to make them look like people. They even did acting segments on kids' TV shows!
"Some of his work," Prompto started to go through some slides on the projector now, "are a bit more artistic, some of it definitely can be uncanny, and some worry that it might be a bit cruel to pose and dress up the dogs like that. We're definitely not looking to do anything that intense today, but we do have some eager models," he gestured toward the puppies, some of whom were being impossibly cute with their wagging tails and excited faces, "some costumes and props," he gestured toward the boxes, "and some spaces for setting up a scene if you really want to get into it. There's also the kennel suites; the guy I used to work here with and ran the place before me set those up like little boutique hotel rooms, so there's a lot to work with already here at the shelter. I've got snacks and toys for the dogs if you need to sweeten the deal a little, but basically, let's just get out there and have fun and take some cute pictures, yeah?"
