Frequently asked questions
I'm an established pet photographer, is there anything in here I don't already know?
In my experience, all photographers work differently and have their own little tips, techniques and methods of obtaining the best shots. Especially pet photographers! Even if you’re already well versed in pet photography and run a succesful business, there is always more to learn, different ways of doing things and new ways of seeing the world and your canine subjects. Personally, I relish the opportunity to talk with, interact with and learn from other pet photographers and in reading Dog Shots, it’s almost like exchanging ideas and techniques with a peer!

Moving beyond posed portraits and random action shots, Dog Shots focuses on giving you the ability to conceptualise, set up and shoot a range of quality images. Your clients will be absolutely ecstatic at the range of truly mindblowing shots you’ll be able to include in your sessions.

One of my favorite things about Charlotte Reeves is the way her photos tell a story. The wide variety of her images shows us the beauty of the dog as well some of its unique personality. In her brilliant new book, Dog Shots, Charlotte shares her recipes for getting the shot right. She breaks down 30 types of photos with amazing ease and offers distinct key points for replicating each of these categories. By assigning numerical values for handling, location, lighting, and technical skill, it is easy to see which shots are feasible to take in different scenarios. Filled with Charlotte’s gorgeous images, she draws upon her expertise and shares a ton of handy tips. I hope every dog photographer reads this book (and then share their images with me!).

About the author
My name is Charlotte Reeves and I started my pet photography business – Charlotte Reeves Photography – in mid 2007. After 9 years of being in business, I’ve built up my skills and business model to be the successful, internationally renowned pet photographer I am today. I have a steady stream of clients and am at the stage in my career where I get a real kick out of teaching people to discover their potential within a niche area of photography that I personally love and feel has real value to society.
When not hanging out with my Australian Shepherds Fletcher & Opal, I love to read, explore new destinations through travel, immerse myself in nature and the countryside, and get physical outdoors with dirt biking, archery and bushwalking. A self-confessed techno geek, I also thrive on finding time to disconnect from technology and spend time with my amazing husband, friends and family.
Whatever stage you're at in your journey towards better dog photography, I guarantee there will be something in Dog Shots that will help you on your way and assist you in capturing amazing photos of our canine friends.
