Your dog moves all the time. Particularly a hunting dog. He or she moves fast, often too fast to notice the details of what she is doing. I try to capture these details for you, so that you can forever remember the bright moments together and better see her character and some of her best sides, literally.
I offer the following packages specifically for gun dog photography:
If you want the best images of your working dog, it will take some time to capture her in a variety of situations. For this, I can support a full day of on site photography for $1,300. I will come to your location for up to 8 hours of photography, one full day, and photograph up to two dogs working together. The light is best in the morning and in the evening, so a full days session is best if it is split into the sunrise shoot and a sunset shoot, with a break in between. That said, workable photos can be taken at any time of the day. You will receive the following results, or an equivalent value, based on your preference:
- 4″ x 6″ paper prints of at least 20 best shots of the day, or preview files if preferred. From these, you choose the photos for prints below:
- One 24″ x 36″ metal print, or a 20″ x 30″ metal print, or a 24″ x 32″ canvas print, or a 30″ x 40″ canvas print (if possible), or another equivalent mounted print.
- Two 16″ x 20″ or 16″ x 24″ metal or canvas prints.
- Two 11″ x 14″ or 12″ x 12″ metal prints, or similar size canvas or regular photo prints.
- Full resolution images of all the prints.
- Additional 20 digital images, not including those above, at a resolution sufficient for online sharing.
- Your previews are usually ready within a week, and the prints start arriving in two weeks. Large prints take a little longer.
For a smaller package of prints and a quicker turnaround, choose a half day of onsite photography for $750. A sunrise or a sunset is the best time but workable photos can be taken at any time of the day. I will come to your site for up to 4 hours of photography, and photograph one or two dogs working together. You will receive the following, or an equivalent value, based on your preference:
- 4″ x 6″ paper prints of at least 10 best shots of the day, or preview files if preferred. From these, you choose the photos for prints below.
- One 16″ x 20″ or 16″ x 24″ metal or canvas print.
- Two 11″ x 14″ or 12″ x 12″ metal prints, or similar size canvas or regular photo prints.
- Full resolution images of all the prints.
- Additional 10 digital images, not including those above, at a resolution sufficient for online sharing.
- Your previews are usually ready within three days, and the prints start arriving in eight days. Large prints take a little longer.
- If I see an image that I think will look particularly good in a larger size than included in this package, I will discuss the ordering options and any extra cost with you.
Any image from the best shots of the day can be ordered as a print in addition to the package prints. Print options include metal, canvas, acrylic and simple photo paper prints that you can have framed as you prefer, in a variety of sizes. A variety of quality levels of gallery class prints are also available if you are interested; some people like these to offer them at exhibits and contests. I will be happy to discuss these options with you and help you choose the best for your intended display location, lighting and the kind of picture itself.
If the shoot site is located farther than 25 miles from Longmont, CO, a $0.40 / mile fee will be added to the order.
At the site, I will ask you to show me that you are familiar with gun safety and can exercise cool judgement while hunting with your dog. While I do my best to stay out of the shooting zone, I don’t want to get shot when your dog flushes a bird and it happens to fly towards me! It will be up to you to limit your shooting angles to avoid hitting your photographer.
