This was a very special shoot: my first since my accident last October. And it was sooooooooo much fun. The handsome man is none other than Dave Koz, with his 5-month puppy, Buddy. And they were both ROCK STARTS posing for me.
I normally do these portraits by myself; it's easier, faster, and when it comes to dogs especially, ANY extraneous movement or sound can mess up a shot. However, as I'm still unable to lift anything heavy yet, I needed an assistant, and my good friend Adrien (also a photographer) was just brilliant.
Buddy was hilarious, and as a result, I was blessed with an embarrassment of riches when it came to choosing the best shot. I just had so many. I don't think I could have gone wrong with any of them, but this little duet seemed to be extra special. |
