Model Call Dog Photos in the Southpark area of Charlotte NC — BARKography

I love urban photography. Include a dog and I really looove it! When the dogs include a lanky doodle puppy that is all legs, a fluffy, gorgeous golden retriever, and a smiley Australian cattle dog you know I’m in heaven. All 3 of these dogs were incredible models.

I got out and did some urban dog photography this week because our blog circle topic is “Out and About in the City.”

Urban Photos

One of the many reasons why I love urban photography is because of the variety in the photos. All of these photos were taken at Piedmont Row, a mixed use development near Southpark Mall in Charlotte.

There are condos, restaurants such as Del Frisco’s and Peppervine, and a gym, the Harris Express YMCA (which I should personally frequent more than I do. I have a membership. It’s less than a mile from my house…)

Another I love about urban photos: the buildings have signage that helps to create interesting lighting and colors in the background. There are usually nice flower beds and other cool plants around too.

Dog Models

I also decided to find some new models to photograph. I look for dog models when I’m doing commercial work and I prefer to work with dogs I know so that I have an idea of how they’ll be at the photo shoot. I thought this would be a great chance to meet a few new dogs to possibly keep in mind for future commercial pet photography projects.

As it turns out, that was a great plan. I now have 3 new dogs to call on when my next commercial project comes up.

This is Hunter. Some of you know have seen his dad Ace here and on my Instagram. My guess is you’ll see Hunter again too. He has a new younger sister named Piper that his mom assured me is learning how to sit so you will probably see her here at some point too.
