Portraits: Bess

One thing about taking photos of people, is that there’s quite a lot to consider, and one of the most central is the feelings of the person you’re taking the photograph of. If the person being photographed doesn’t like the photo, posting it say, on this blog, might be a good way to make myself unpopular. As most of my photos are candid shots, rather than with models whom might be persuaded to sign release forms, you’ll almost never see me post portraits of people here.

Landscapes.. and Animals however, aren’t so lucky!

Bess, the awesome staffie that is also my family’s dog, who also happens to be a really good friend of mine, recently posed for this shot at Christmas. She doesn’t look too happy, but I thought the photo worked really well.

No wonder Bess looks miffed. It looks like she was given a couple of paperbacks for Christmas…there on the table… when everyone knows dogs prefer to read on an ebook reader. Her expression definitely says: “What’s this? OLD MEDIA FFS!!!”

Staffies have such wonderfully expressive faces. My staffie has eyebrows like the kids on the Cadbury’s advert which say more than any words could say.
