I'm an amateur photographer looking to go professional later in the year (hopefully, when the economy picks up...) - however, I've realised that my portfolio is currently lacking in pet portraits.

So, to remedy this, I'm offering up to 5 people a shoot with their dog, and a print.

There will be no charge for this, all I ask for is you and your dog's time, and you'll get a print of your loved one that you can frame.

Areas covered:
I am based in Bristol, but will travel around the local area, such as Weston-super-Mare and Bath, etc.

Where:
This can be on location, perhaps on your favourite walk in the park or on a beach, for example. Or at home, with your dog in his or her bed, or I can do a "studio" type shot with special lighting if they're scared of flashes.

How long?:
I expect the shoot to last from one to two hours. I'll spend a little time with your dog first to try and get it used to me before we start. How long it actually takes depends upon the dog...

What you get:
Hopefully, the shoot itself will be a fun experience (you'll get to see a grown man acting silly and making funny noises!) But the main thing you will get is an A4/8"x10" sized professionally printed photo that you can enjoy for years to come. You'll be able to choose from a sample gallery from the shoot, it'll the be printed with either a black or white border to aid mounting in a suitable frame.

This could easily cost £50 if you were to pay for it normally, but as I am in need of some pet photos (and to be honest, I also need to some practice in this area), I am not charging a penny.

If you're interested, feel free to get in touch!
