Web Photo School is pleased to welcome Ann Hamilton as a Guest Contributor! Her approach for photographing dogs in the studio here involves using one light as a main with a reflector panel for fill. This simple setup is ideal for working in a small space.

Ann loves photographing dogs. She adores the canine spirit and the joy that is expressed at the most simplest of things. Learn Ann's "keep it simple" strategy and tips for gaining a dog's attention during a portrait shoot.
