Figure 8-8: Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet when photographing your dog swimming.

Become an active participant. Use your free hand to engage your dog. Try playing tug with her and shooting from above for an interesting angle.

Try not to torture him too much, but an obligatory shot of Randall guarding his bounty of toys never hurts!

Attempt “shooting from the hip,” which simply means positioning your camera and composing from angles that you can’t even physically see through the viewfinder from (like at your hip — get it?). You’ll be surprised by some of the cool shots you get!

When documenting your dog playing with his favorite toys, also consider capturing the in-between moments that lead up to or follow an actual toy-playing session, like him rounding up his toys before deciding which one is going to make the cut or him flipping a toy through the air to get your attention when he wants to play. Although Figure 8-9 doesn’t actually depict Randall playing with his toys, it does tell a story about Randall’s unique personality. To this day, Randall is one of the more vocal dogs we’ve photographed, and his propensity to bark at you while guarding his favorite toys was a playtime ritual not to be missed.
