SPENDING TIME WITH RESCUES

First of all, I would like to thank you for your supportive comments on my previous post. Your kind words were inspirational and helped to remind me why I need to continue on this journey I began, many years ago.  Where does the time go?

As a volunteer photographer, I have snapped pics of many shelter animals in the hope of making a love connection between humoms, dogpas, and their (future) furbabies. Obviously, there is much room for improvement. I enjoy practicing and hope one of my amateur shots versus a quick cell phone pic will mean all the difference in finding a rescue animal a forever home.

Here are some of the companions I’ve had the privilege of photographing:

This trip down memory lane was incredibly therapeutic for me – just the ‘shake off’ I needed to focus on what matters most.

Check back soon for new posts about rescue efforts and how I intend to help eliminate the stereotype about rescues!

 

Thanks again xoxo

KEVIN SARASOM – PET PHOTOGRAPHER

January 8, 2016 | 41 Comments

Off Leash Studio

We recently had the pleasure of meeting, and working with Kevin Sarasom, of Off Leash Studio during the filming of our PetSmart commercial. Kevin is the very talented and professional man behind the lens. After briefly composing ideas in his mind, he shared his thoughts and invited feedback from me, the pet parent. Perhaps knowing a bit about Henry, Reese and Ricky helped with his creative process. Mostly, I think it was Kevin’s easy going attitude; his ability to wait patiently for his models to become comfortable, open up and show off their personalities.

We are delighted to share with you some of the fun images from Off Leash Studio (recognize anyone?)

What inspired you to become a photographer and, in particular, to specialize in pet photography?

I’ve been a cinematographer for 5 years now and I realized that I’ve got a knack for making things look good, and I love animals. I had a vision to produce really high production value in the photos while capturing unique expressions or showing personality.

Natural, outdoor environment, home (of pet), or studio. Why is that your preference?

We only shoot in studio, at Off Leash Studio

As a volunteer, shelter photographer, I know how amazing it is to connect with the animals. Please share with us one of your most magical experiences (and photograph from that session, if possible)

They are all magical experiences! This is Tyson and Abby. They were especially awesome.

All time favourite photo – why?

Frankenstein – the first photo ever, that inspired the rest

Any ‘Oopsie Daisies’ during a shoot?

Nothing a pee pad can’t take care of.

Do you have a favourite species, breed, or age group to photograph?

Great Danes.



Do you have animal companions? Please tell us about them?

I have a pet corn snake, Clarisse. She’s awesome and will soon be featured!

Camera and favourite lens (why)?

Canon 5DM3, 50mm 1.2 – The shallow depth of field!

What, in your opinion makes a great pet portrait?

If it tells a story, it’s a great portrait.



What tips and suggestions do you have for shelter workers wanting to create a flattering photo for each pet’s adoption profile portrait?

A diffused light source. If you have a flash, point it towards and bounce it off a piece of paper.



Off Leash Studio specializes in capturing your pet’s unique personality.  Using cinematic lighting techniques honed through years of experience shooting portraits, the style we aim for is classic and modern, with a fun twist.   We love to meet new pets, discover their personalities, and capture all their wonderful expressions.
