So, here is my remedy to that. Here is Psycatics Maksim, a beautiful 1 1/2 year old Silver MacTabby and White Maine Coon...from last weekend.

Beautiful!

I have a question on your setup. Are you using two separate pieces of BG material or are you just draping it "up & over?"

Is that velvet?

I've got a Teacup Dog Association event this weekend and I'm not sure how happy I am with my set-up from last time.

That is two separate pieces of faux suede, so I only have to launder and sanitize half as much fabric after each event.

Good point! I've been using a 10x30 piece for most events. Hard to wash to say the least.

Beautiful portrait, Preston. I like the lighting a lot and the background/table covering color is perfect for this subject.

Simply lovely.

Thank you Julie and Jim and Jim. It was a tough weekend actually, had to drive through a snowstorm before they were able to salt and clear the Interstate. Saw several dozen cars and trucks in the ditch and median. I'm just glad the cats made it to the show. But as you can see, these longhairs are well equipped for winter, and although they observe it from indoors they are absolutely dripping in coat this time of year.

Nice job as always, Preston.

Out of curiosity, do your clients buy prints or do you just sell them image files?

I do not sell any packages of just files. Packages start with prints and add Web jpgs or higher resolution files. Unless you can show a good print, you can get into endless discussions about color accuracy on various monitors that clients view the files on.
