Dog photography sessions in Brooklyn and Manhattan
There are three ways to do this: in my home studio in Williamsburg, out in Brooklyn's parks and streets, or at your place. They differ in setting, not in how much care goes into them. If you're not sure which suits your dog, the notes under each one should help.
Studio session
- Where
- My home studio in Williamsburg. I send the exact address once you've booked.
- How long
- 60, 75 or 90 minutes, depending on the package
- What it costs
- The package price, with nothing added.
- Who it suits
- Dogs who settle quickly indoors, and owners who want portraits with a calm, lived-in feel.
What to expect
The studio is a room in my home, set up with lighting and a few good spots to sit or lie down. Your dog gets time to explore it before the camera comes out, and the session follows your dog's lead from there, with breaks whenever your dog needs one.
On-location session
- Where
- Brooklyn's parks, streets and waterfront, or Manhattan, where Central Park is the obvious choice. In Brooklyn, that means Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bushwick or Park Slope.
- How long
- 60, 75 or 90 minutes, depending on the package
- What it costs
- The package price, with nothing added.
- Who it suits
- Dogs with energy to spend, dogs who are calmer outdoors than in a new room, and owners who want Brooklyn in the background.
What to expect
The session starts with a short walk so your dog can get used to the camera, then moves between a few spots close together. I plan the timing around the light, which usually means early morning or the hour before sunset.
In-home session
- Where
- Your home. In Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bushwick or Park Slope.
- How long
- 60, 75 or 90 minutes, depending on the package
- What it costs
- $100 on top of any package, which covers the travel and setting up lights in rooms I have not lit before.
- Who it suits
- Older dogs, anxious dogs, dogs who don't travel well, and anyone who wants their home, and the people in it, in the pictures.
What to expect
I come to you with portable lighting and work around the rooms and spots your dog already likes. Nothing needs tidying beyond the corner being photographed, and people are welcome in the frame.
