Experiments in Black and White, and shades of ... Jack Russell, by Julie Deans, Artist


Lately I've been neglecting my forest photography adventures, but I am finding that the older I get, the more I melt in the humid weather. And this summer, above average humidity seems to be the norm, forcing me to hibernate in my (thankfully) air conditioned home. So, I have to make due with what I've got at home for photos - and what I've got at home is a little crazy dog who likes to pose for the camera - though she'd prefer it if she made the rules, and not me.

This time, since we were indoors, without a bright blue sky or abundance of foliage for colour, I decided to experiment with some black and white (and shades of, with some colour blended in). The little dog seems to translate well to monochrome, it makes her look more debonaire and sophisticated.






She was getting bored with this shoot at the end ... it's not as fun when there is no toy or bone involved. What can I say ... she's just not a serious dog. Lazy? Yes. Tough? Yes. Smart? Hell yes! Serious? Not a chance. Takes after her people I suppose ...
