Week 1

I am trying to figure out what I can do now for the last three weeks, since I knew about my two inspirations are moving away. My dog and boyfriend. They are truly the best to photograph and because of that Quinnjamin was born. I started this project because first of all I take pictures of the two of them all the time and second of all my dog has the most amazing and funny character that I have ever seen. A lot of people tell us that she's more human than dog.
Anyways I started thinking about that I should start my series with a Quinnjamin picture that I'm going to take in the next few days. This will be #1 for my portfolio. I already have an idea of what this picture will look like. It will be a birthday picture because my birthday is next Saturday and I always wanted one of a birthday.
After that I am going to take other peoples pets and I will creat a photograph just like Quinnjamin but with other people and other dogs/animals (such as cats, I will only shoot cats and dogs).
I looked on a lot of websites and I found a couple good ones but not really what I had in mind or something that came close to it.
Philip Rostron was one of them, his images were very funny and I like when pictures make people laugh. Karen Morgen has some great picture of animals as well. (shown)
Also I found this website of images which I thought great. I want to capture the emotion of the animal and I want to connect it to the owners body. Which sounds weird but also great and interesting.

People say, I say, that our dogs look like their owner. In some cases they don't but then the character reflects the dogs and/or the owner. I want to find out the connection between the owner and their pet. That something that makes them have "the same" character.


I am more of an conceptual photographer. I like to be creative and try taking something normal and make it into something more creative and clever. I would like to work with someone who edits pictures and whom I can shadow and learn from. There is never an end to on how to use different tools in Photoshop. I like working with people and be creative with them, the same goes with dogs. I also like to lose myself in food photography. And create something great, different, funny and unique.
