Hollywood Dog/NewYork Dog wanting MY photos...

[Kfamr]

Do you all remember the Dogster contest Ki won?

Well, the lady who is in charge of Kiara's photoshoot prize has been searching my area for a photographer to come photograph Ki.

I told her how some of you said I should mention that I'm into photography. Well, she is unable to find a photographer for such work in my area and is interesting in seeing some of my pictures of Ki.


The problem is.. which ones do I send?
Someone please help me decide. If you post a picture, please post the date I posted it on (will help me find the original on my computer.)

I'm sending her an e-mail now asking what type of photos she's interested in and how many she needs.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Congrats, Kay! I would definitely send her some of your most recent ones.. I'll go find the link.

This one from 2 days ago was just adorable

There is a thread from january with lots of good close-ups...http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=96590&highlight=kiara
These pics are very clear even though she is moving. I like the wave, bow, laying like a proper lady, and standing by the pool.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

This is great, Kay! Congratulations! I'll go look for some of my favourites of yours (lol...I have tons, but I'll try to find my most favourite). :)

[Kfamr]

Thanks again everyone!

Maybe I'll just send this thread to the lady to give her a little look-see at them?

[Husky_mom]

i cant make my mind i love like a zillion i cant cut down to one..........i think you should send her links so she can see them and tell you which ones are the ones she likes best, personally i love every single one, she so photogenic and you are so talented........... :D

[cyber-sibes]

As far as selecting, keep in mind everything you know about good photography - consider the background, the lighting, unusual angles, focus, etc. Use photos that would be included in a "professional" portfolio. There's several on this thread already that look like good choices. While Ki always looks adorable, some stand out as more successful photographs. Good luck!

[sabies]

Ditto Orangotango & Flatcoatluver's selections. I agree with Cyber-sibes that you should pick the most professional looking but I'm not the best judge of that. Show her as many as you can! This is so exciting, good luck!

[ramanth]

Oh man Kay... I couldn't pick a favorite.... but that is so cool that your own photography may get published!! What a way to get noticed!

[Karen]

Thanks again everyone!

Just what I was going to suggest.

[K9karen]

Pick favorites? You're kidding, right? :p No help from me...I could never ever decide!I nearly faint when I see her pictures!

[LoudLou]

Pick a favorite?! Yeah, right... like that's even possible!

However, this does make me want to FINALLY send in my subscription form for The Hollywood Dog mag!

[cloverfdx]

That is wonderful Kay, how exciting :D. Sending the thread link is a great idea. Goodluck and please keep us upto date.

[Bengalz]

Congratulations Kay! What a wonderful opportunity for you. Sending your photo links is a great idea - shows your versatility in taking good photos.

I have so many favourites, it is impossible to pick the best one. The attached photo is one that made me really smile - Kiara's expression is priceless.

Good luck and keep us informed.

[lv4dogs]

Thats great news Kay! I am so happy for you! I was begining to think they forgot about you.

I agree. While every pic of her is adorable, some may be a little blurred or not completely focused, possibly hard to make out in places due to the lighting, etc..
I don't have much time to go thorugh & pick pics for you but you've got a lot of great photos Kay and there's quite a few in this thread.

I wish you the best of luck!

[elizabethann]

Isn't there a picture of Kiara with a ton of tennis balls in her mouth? I think it was Kiara. I just remember it was a cute photo and well done. If it wasn't Kiara, then oops...disregard this message.

Anyhow, congratulations. I sometimes pick up NY Dog magazine - it's a cool read.

:)

[Ginger's Mom]

Kay, you have taken so many wonderful pictures of Kiara, you can hardly go wrong. You will let all of us know when it is going to be published right? I have never seen the magazine, but I will definitely buy a copy with Kiara in it.

[Giselle]

Good pictures always emit emotions. Here are a few that truly make my heart (and mind!) race:

http://petevents.com/~simba/Post6-18-2006/1.jpg
(the first one)

http://petevents.com/~simba/Post4-15-2006/20.jpg

http://petevents.com/~simba/Post2-18-2006/26.jpg
This is one of the better ones because I love her position, although it would've been *amazing* to see the intensity of her facial expression.

http://petevents.com/~simba/Kiara10-2-2005/12.jpg


(I know this isn't Kiara, but I loooove this one)

You are a natural.
