I gave a talk on pet photography and had a local photo group I am a part of, over at the studio Friday night. Mainly what I showed was how I handled a dog, what a real life studio session can look like from a quiet trained dog to one that was running around barking at me and laying in the backdrops.
Stylistically, we will all differ. You can emulate a style, but, really it is something you develop yourself. People who like what you are doing call you.
I tend to sell a lot more albums, when I shoot outdoors. There ends up being so much they can't choose. Or when someone brings me a whole lot of dogs. I tend to always sell a fine art canvas *if I make sure to present one in the viewing session!*
So, I think we tend to sell what we promote and show.
I do sell albums and I am working on three at the moment, well, I just finished one and onto number two. Canvases are a whole lot less work!
