Offering something "different"

Iv been thinking ver the past few weeks about offering soemthing different when it comes to pet portraits (studio)

I was wondering about a trademark style so to speak. Taking more fun type shots with a bold and bright background as aposed to the traaditional "Old Masters" or High key, Such as bright yellows, purples, pink, blues, greens ect ect.

Do you think people would go for this or do they perfer more subtle?????

For fun shots bright colours could work I would probably go for them.

I did a fun type shoot for a customer, i did the Highkey stuff but also some more fun stuf, they were impressed with the bright colours so i hope it works out for you too

Sammy

can we see some examples?

I'd love to see some examples too!

Pet shots are hard tho, as you can't always tell what an animal is going to do

Thats half the fun!!!

Iv not get any examples just yet - Im looking into getting some paper backgrounds and shooting my JRT for prtfolio work - i was curious of all your thoughts on it first

Personally I like different. So I would prob go for it

Obviously it's down to the client but for me I think it depends.

For dogs - I would think people would like to have an image that encapsulates the breed and that would include the background. Gundogs for example would in my view be more suited to natural couloured surroundings whilst Toy breeds may lend themselves to more vibrant colours.

Cat's, rabbits etc - then certainly the coloured thing would be worth a shot !

and malamutes to mud! (he says looking out the patio window at his dirty malamute doing laps in the garden/mud pit)

LOL @ Stu

Thanks for the feedback guys Ill think ill go out and buy one roll of colour and see how we go
