How You Should Use Your Photographer's Artistic Skills to Enhance Your Interiors
Why it’s important to hire a photographer who provides a full service.
So what do I mean here? Well, a lot of photographers will take very beautiful photos and then leave you to figure out where to put them in your house on your own. The thing is, what if the your home has a subtle and sophisticated colour scheme…photos of your beloved dog or cat taken on a bright or gauche backdrop would not compliment or enhance your overall home aesthetic, in fact it would most likely clash and look out of place.
This is why it’s important to have a full service photographer, who will design your wall art to compliment your home spaces right from the beginning. Before we even get to the studio or on location for a photoshoot, it’s important that we talk about your home, your design aesthetic and what you’re looking to achieve. If this all seems too much, then this is where I can help. I can do an in person visit with you to your home, or a virtual one instead, where I look at the overall design and then advice you on what wall art styles would look great and where. There are many things to take into consideration, such as: your home colour schemes; the wall areas available; your colour preferences in art; whether those preferences for art would compliment your home; and finally, whether those colours and styles would suit your animal’s fur and eyes, to bring out the best in them. Finally, we would discuss your preferences for the style of art finishes, such as framing, canvases, acrylics and so on.
Working with Association Paw’Pattes Switzerland
Animal rescue work is very close to my heart, it’s something I’ve been involved in my whole life in one way or another. So I always look for ways to support local animal shelters and charities.
In this case, the Association Paw’Pattes in Switzerland had this beautiful male cat called Pattapouf, who was difficult to place in a new family. He was extremely shy and had some long term health issues, which sadly tends to put most people off from adopting an animal.
The thing is, these issues really, really shouldn’t be an issue or an obstacle, as most rescue animals are shy to begin with, we just need to see past this and see the beauty of their character that is hidden behind their shyness. In this case, this beautiful boy was very firmly and sweetly attached to his foster mum from Paw’pattes, he’d been given some time to come out of his shell and show his true character, which was that of a truly soft sweet boy, a real delight of a cat.
Working with a very nervous rescue dog
How we went from a nervous dog to a confident hero shot.
This bog is to illustrate just one example of how I work with very shy rescue dogs, the ones that have had a very rough start in life before being rescued. And sadly that mistreatment has led to some serious trust issues with new people. This gorgeous boy is a Spanish rescue, he’s part boxer and part pointer. He was taken on by a fantastic family, where he is adored and lucky enough to be looked after by his mum who is a dog behaviourist. His whole family has worked extremely hard with him to help him trust people again, and this thankfully has paid off and helped him to overcome his fears and start to trust new people again. However, that’s not to say that he isn’t nervous with new people and that he still needs a certain approach in order to ensure a positive outcome. So how did I overcome this and gain his trust? Read on to find out.
