A few days ago I had to finish a photography project for my photo class at school. The project was to photograph like a professional photographer and I chose William Wegman. You must know his work. He is the guy who photographs his weimeraners in clothes and make them have human characteristics. His dogs have been in books, galleries and on television.
I chose Princess as my model since she is most cooperative and has the most patience. Besides trying to lay down all the time she was a very good girl. Here are a few photos of her that are some of my favorite. I took so many and the rest will be on my flickr. To me she is better than the weimeraners but that is also because she is my Princess.
So, what do you think? I know they arent exactly like William Wegman but I am no pro yet. I tried my best. He does a lot of full body shots but because Princess is partially lazy and does not stand very long it was hard to get good body shots. I am happy though about how they came out. It was my first time doing a kinda studio setup in my room and I had fun. I want to do more soon. Maybe with Lady or Oliver. Dont worry Princess got lots of love after and ended up passing out when I was done.
Wow. They’re all wonderful but if I had to choose it would be Prinny the cow girl or the Blondy with the long blond hair…Her expression is priceless…good job!
Thanks sal! Yes, she a pretty serious gal.
The lighting came out great, considering what you had to use. Love that Prin!

I think you did an EXCELLENT job! I especially like the “studious” shot with the glasses and book.
I hope you get an “A.” You deserve it.

Anna, these are so cool! The styling is very good, very Wegman-esque. And the lighting is so professional.
Wegman has made a couple of videos of his shoots, sortof behind the scenes, that are interesting: maybe on YouTube?
Interested to see your next project!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the photos of Princess, they’re awesome!!! A+ all the way! You might want to consider making a calendar with the photos you took. 🙂
Mom – Thanks! Yeah, with just normal lamps the photos came out nicely.
Lisa – Thanks very much. I know the project sure lifted my grade up.
Lisa – Thanks. You would be amazed. The lighting is just normal lights in my house that I shined on her. Ive seen some of his videos. He sure is one magnificent talented artist.
Elise – Thank you. Yes, I love photographing my Princess. My best model. A calender. That is not a bad idea!
