Never work with kids or animals is something that’s always mentioned to amateur photographers when they’re starting out. It’s not something that I’d ever really intended on doing. The lack of control that you have over the subject does seem quite daunting.
But in bad boy fashion, rules are made to be broken.
I was asked by my girlfriend’s brother and fiancee to take some photos of their gorgeous, 12 week old cocker spaniel, Ivy.
Apprehensively, I accepted the challenge.
I couldn’t believe how well trained Ivy was considering her age. She had mastered multiple commands. Sit, stay, paw, lie down and to walk a lap of her owners, although these were all suspiciously in the same order each time, I’d cottoned on to her game. In reality though, she is clearly still a puppy with oversized paws and long legs that she constantly tripped over which was so adorable and hilarious at the same time.
When I finally managed to release her razor sharp needle teeth from my camera strap or hand, I did manage to capture some images.
She is a right little poser.
