[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 382628, member: 16844"] [b]Re: Wud's project 365[/b] Well first off she did not speak for 2 hours - although I think she could easily have. What impressed me about her approach to the shots was the way she found out so much about the animals and owners before the shoot. In particular she wanted to know the animal's character, quirks, behaviour, responses etc. and most importantly how the owners "SAW' them. When you live with an animal on a daily basis you see things in them that others don't and this is what she tried to portray in her photos. For example if the owners saw their dog as "majestic" then a shot of the dog on a horizon (camera below the dog shooting up) portrays the majestic side of them. Hope that makes sense. And she also said she can spend a lot of time getting the dog to relax and get used to her and the camera. Often they take forever to calm down when meeting someone new - just excited and friendly as animals get and why we love them.
