Flying Dogs a specialty
They say never work with animals and children. Portrait photographers, however, encounter both these species on a regular basis.
Whilst taking a child’s portrait at his North Wales studio, a photographer friend of mine heard a pitter patter on the ceiling. He concluded that his faithful mutt had found its way into the roof space via an open cupboard in the attic office.
Turning briefly to the youngster’s parents, he heard a crash from behind him followed by those immortal words “Doggy has fallen out of the sky!”
The crazy canine had stood on the trap door which promptly sprung open, ejecting the surprised pooch from the darkness into the brightly lit camera room below!
Happily, the dog survived with a wagging tail, and the child was left with an interesting tale to tell at play school – all about the doggy who dropped in on his portrait session!
