Secrets of Professional Pet Photography, with Randal Ford
Podcast: Download (Duration: 44:46 — 51.2MB)
Randal Ford and I discuss his “coffee table” book Good Dog. We talk about his experiences in learning to professionally photograph a wide variety of… personalities. We also uncover some interesting behavior patterns he noticed during this project.
Randal, in his own words…
Dogs have been in our lives for millennia– as our best friends and our family. As we attempt to navigate the ever-changing terrain of a global pandemic, one good thing remains constant: our dogs by our side. If there were ever a time to pay tribute to our closest companions, it is now. Good Dog is a heartwarming collection of meaningful moments with man’s-best- friend. As we look into the eyes of these animals, may we recognize the unwavering presence of their gentle spirit– one of wisdom, unending loyalty, and perfect love for imperfect humans.

I enjoyed this. Thank you. Love to hear about the BTS and what all went into getting the shot. I may have missed it, but was there a common lens used. I know the Sigma 85mm art came up, but I don’t think he said that’s what he used.
Thanks, John, I don’t think he mentioned the lens he uses. You should just shoot him a note on his site to inquire. I think the 85mm Sigma was a staple though.
