And a poodle!
Last Monday, I did a self portrait for a show at that will be on at
Arts and Architecture gallery, in the new year. This portrait will also become my future business card, web and advertisement image!
It was a pleasure to work with my team of dog models, Boscoe, Curry, Marley, Lola, Charlie Brown, and Buster, as well as their lovely owners, and my own 2 girls, Shenzi and Sadie! Also my hair stylist,
Lucas Nault, and makeup artist, Kit Sena did an incredible job making me look like a "high fashion poodle" for the shoot!
I took some of my doggie friends for a very long walk preshoot, and the rest went for long walks with their owners as well. They were, for the most part, all nice and calm, receptive, and very well behaved!
The photo shoot itself was a little chaotic. As soon as all of the dogs got on set, one would always get up and leave! In the end though, we had a great, short and sweet shoot. My Art Director and Modeling Coach for the day was my business partner Viresh Pujara, who did a fantastic job making me stay in "model mode" while the chaos went on around me, so that when the dogs were finally ready for a few moments, so was I!
Here are some snapshots of pre-shoot preparations. The final shot, hilarious outtakes, as well as portraits of our doggie stars will be up after I get my new mac! Stay tuned!
