Julie,
yes, we did all of Tyler's advertising. He is a very cool guy. Probably a bit too much substance for most Dane people but I always thought he was just what the breed needed in terms of type.
Renee always traveled that way but if you went inside one of those $750,000 RVs, you saw that the dogs all traveled in style and she really loves them. We'd sit and plan the ads with Tyler and one of the other Danes sitting across our laps.
For this dog, Renee specifically asked for us and we know the breeders well as well as the handler so I think we have it covered from the perspective of everyone knowing and being comfortable with each other. I've shot a lot of Dane Specialties but I'd appreciate any tips you'd like to offer.
This isn't just a shoot; it's a contracted year of advertising design as well as photography. And, yes, it will be fairly lucrative but fair. BTW, did you know that the Dane she had painted on her RV was Tyler?
Tyler and I had a good relationship when he was showing and I saw him last year at one of the Specialties and he came over to me and buried his head in my chest. He's definitely one of "my guys".
