- What types of customers have you worked with?
Usually it's photographing multiple riders at a horse show, or multiple dogs at a dog show or training class. Art commissions that come in are about half memorials and half portraits of living pets or companions.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
If you are looking to use your own photographs for artwork, please have sharp (in focus) well lit pictures. Don't shoot down at your pets shoot at eye level. If you are looking for a photographer. In the studio take your pets potty first. Please have some amount of basic training for dogs and horses. Talk to the photographer first and get an idea of what you want vs what your pet can realistically give you.
