My Boxer Blogz

Taking gorgeous photographs of your boxer is easier then you may think. During the next few blogs I will show you how you can take great photos.

Many people ask me how I get my boxers to pose for these photos. The secret is I can talk to animals…

Ok ok so I can’t talk to them BUT I do work with them on a daily basis. One thing I found early on was that they did not pose very well. They would constantly move or get distracted really easy. The trick is to teach them the basic commands such as sit , down and stay. This is all you need. Get some treats and get them to sit.

While they sit take out your camera and just take pictures while they are waiting for their treat. This will get them used to the camera. At first my boxers were so curious but after many photoshoots they just saw the camera as an extension of my body and ignored it. Now I can take my camera out and they wont even pay any attention to me.

Always keep your camera nearby and practice this exercise every day. Also keep in mind your first shot will not always be your best. For every good photo I have of my boxers I took 20 or so bad ones. You only get to see the good ones You can see Mickey in the sample photos in this post. He was about 14 weeks old and you can see how he just ignores me. This shoot was one of my favorites. I worked with him about 2 weeks until he ignored me.

I will have more samples and tips so keep checking back!
