Paw- friendly Shoot for Pooch Box

Paw- friendly Shoot for Pooch Box

The shoot for Pooch Box was a break from the usual. It was a paw-friendly shoot.

The studio we have is not a regular, typical working space. There is no room for being under prolonged periods of stress or worry. Wonder how? No, no we haven't formulated a secret magic spell. It's just due to our Chief Happiness Officer who happens to be a 3 years old Labrador Retriever, Zoye. Everyone in the studio has their fair share of spending time with her and Zoye is well aware when to reach out to whom. She is never tired of cuddles or pats and is eager to make friends with whoever rings the doorbell.

Now, in this environment of a dog-loving brigade, when Pooch Box reached us for a shoot, it was a match made in heaven. Pooch Box is the ultimate package for your dog containing treats, toys, accessories, grooming essentials and more.

THE SETUP

Simple set up with bright coloured background to show the playful side of the pets. We piled up boxes of Pooch Box to highlight their packaging and also, to make viewers understand the scale ratio. Some shots had the boxes semi-opened to let a sneak peek into how the products are arranged inside. There was ample empty space left around the main characters for graphics and texts to be added as and when needed.

TIPS AND TRICKS TO SHOOT PETS

  • Find out the activity graph of the pet from the owner. Shoot portraits when they are calmer and relaxed during the day.

  • Just hold the camera in front of them for some time before actually shooting to get them accustomed to the equipments around.

  • Declutter the shoot floor. Do not have anything distracting around the animals. Along the same, keep the props simple and minimal.

  • Keep the pets well hydrated. Ensure to take ample breaks for the pets to chill and be themselves and then get back at trying to comprehend what the humans are wanting them to do.

  • Be ready with treats. Well, how else?

  • Keep a quiet atmosphere and let the owner make the commands. Too many voices will distract and also stress the animals.Avoid saying the name as they will get inclined to tune out.

  • Lastly, stock yourself with oodles of patience.
