We were asked to do a portrait of this

Doberman to show off his conformation

for an advertisement. We used a light gray

studio background to minimize distractions.

It was mid-winter so outdoors was not an

option.

 
 We are compiling a file of outdoor scenes taken from the perspective which will be appropriate for adding dog images. From these we chose a scene with lots of sky to help retain the dog's outline. The white fence had to be removed but that is not a problem.
