You might recognize Tia from our Paramount Shoot earlier this summer. We did that shoot to send pictures of her to her husband who is in Iraq. This shoot is to send pictures of his dog, Radar. Radar is a German Sheppard trained by the police accademy (it's kind of weird, taking pictures of a dog while it's owner is commanding it in German) and is only about two years old. Radar was also just diagnosed with cancer and probably will not live to see his master come home from Iraq. Hence the pictures. But the question you might ask is: why spend the money to hire a professional (meaning Mike) to photograph a dying dog??? The answer: because a professional (or his intern) can photoshop fur.
This is a close-up of the above picture BEFORE I edited it. The dog had just had a biopsy and, though he didn't appear to be in pain, looked like, well, you can see for yourself.
And a cute shot of Trace just cuz I liked the funny lighting.

Hmm... interesting (and slightly creepy). Bet they never taught you how to photoshop fur in jmc classes!
you'd win that bet!
Emerald,
Thanks for your comments on the blog, and props to you on your photos. You really have some amazing work posted here. You should keep doing this, you have a good future in it. I really want to talk to you and laci this fall and learn some portrait skills (both camera and photoshop) from you guys. You are pulling out some amazing color in some of your stuff. Good luck in Oxford, and you better be shooting some photos for all of us to look at soon.
