Weekend shoot: Changi Beach Park

nick — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 13:52:11 +0000

I had a fun shoot last weekend with 5 adorable dogs While I must admit that I am a big dog person, small dogs seem to cram all the energy and personality of a big dog into a more compact package

First up was a grand old dame Dene who had to stay indoors due to her old age. Still game to try and pose a little

Next up was Goro..

Who has a lovely head profile

Next up we have the trio of Shasha , Muffin and Miki!

Miki is getting on in years and cannot see very well but still loves hangin out outdoors with her friends

Still plenty of life in her yet

Muffin was a little skittish at first but warmed up quickly..

She really knows how to strike a pose too!

Undoubtedly the star for that day was Shasha.

She does have this thing for badminton shuttlecocks though..

Like really really likes them

She is also learning from Muffin on how to work that look

Jester and Junior – Sengkang

I met these two lovely schnauzers at Sengkang riverside park a two weekends back. This was my first shoot at the park and we were blessed with a lovely sunny morning to have some fun with!

We began with romping around the large empty field. Most people wont wake up this early on a Saturday, snooze and you lose the morning light!

Once they were more settled down from all the excitement it was a little easier for them to keep still for longer than 1/250th sec

They do look dashing in black and white

Thanks for waking up so early Momma W. Hope you like the pics of your sons.

MnM: Cohen’s Cats

nick — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:12:40 +0000

Some of you may know Cohen, the man behind Mutts N Mittens and President of ACRES but I’m sure not many of you have met his three office cats

First up is the elusive dou dou.

Then I managed to catch Abby in a rather private bath =p

Who also did not seem to appreciate it.

She then went to hand out with Calico on the chair

But Calico decided to move to another chair in the end

And of course I just cannot leave out Yellow who was around too!

Of course he fell asleep soon after which led two the following two pictures

Flat out tired after working on the accounts.

Or just another lazy lab?

Whatever the case we still love him all the same I’m sure

MnM Adoptables: Toto, Hunter and Kittens

nick — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 13:57:52 +0000

Another short post with some adoptable doggies and kitties over at Mutts N Mittens.

First up we have Hunter the Husky who is still in the isolation kennels as he was a recent arrival..

Being a husky, he was most interested in the cats nearby and could not keep still for most of the shoot

Next up was the adroably sweet Toto

And some kittens (forgot to take down names! ) some annoyed at being woken from the nap..

Kitty kisses?

aaand its back to the nap

As a bonus for making it this far, here is one non-adoptable doggy but still always adorable Yes its thier ‘mascot’ Yellow!

Ebi Emma and Pudding

nick — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 15:00:27 +0000

The weather was not kind to Ebi, Emma and Pudding. During the first session, it rained me out half way through What made it worse was when the follow up shoot was scheduled for the next morning, it decided to pour as well :\ Thankfully the weather took a turn for the better last week and we ended up having a great time!

One of the rare times they kept still together

They loved to keep walking and exploring!

Ebi and Emma are like brother and sister with Ebi being older than Emma

When you break out the treats though those two get motivated to run

Even after all that they still had the energy to pose nicely for some portrait shots

And of course not forgetting little Pudding who has the most adorable head-tilt and wink!

Hope you enjoy the pictures as must I did taking them!

She has such a pretty face with that ginger/tabby cross

This poor boy was brought in very recently seems to have a bad eye infection. He will be going to the vet tomorrow to see exactly what is causing it. He does have quite badly impaired vision but is still quite curious and friendly once he warms up (Adopted together with Tea! )

Mutts N Mittens: Adoption Drive and Flea Market

nick — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 16:03:11 +0000

Last Sunday I was at Mutts and Mittens to help photograph their adoption drive along with CWS and HRSS. This is going to be a very image intensive post so bear with me

Yellow and Nerus having a Father/adopted son moment with Nerus annoying the heck out of him.

Boy (left) and Twiggy getting excited about meeting more people/potential adopters

Volunteers getting a brief from one of the more experienced adopters

Setting up stalls..

Notice how Yellow is paying alot of attention to the Ice Cream sellers

The crowd was good that day with a good flow of people in and out..

The three “chief adopterers” sorting though the applications.

The Ice cream from Scoop and Shake was sold out too!

Even Spud (a short term boarding resident) got to enjoy some

Yellow, being the food motivated lab that he his, will never let you eat your lunch in peace =p

Colleen, one of the volunteer photogs there had a little surpise birthday too! (she says she is still 1 =p )

There were simply too many cats/dogs to photograph that day so here are a few highlights

These few cats were rescued by the Cat Welfare Society (CWS) from a hoarder. They were sevrely under nourished but under thier care have recovered nicely!

This pretty girl was rescued from the area near Elias Mall

Had some fun shooting this fiesty lot (look at those claws)..

We end off with this ridiculously cute puppy called Beatus. He was rescued from a construction site and has 6 siblings also looking for homes!

National Dog Walk 2010

nick — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:13:46 +0000

The day didn’t begin very well with me waking up to a moderate drizzle, nonetheless it’s hard to keep me away from all those dogs who were going to be at the National Dog Walk 2010. I only stayed for the morning programe though, as I was going out for another event after lunch. Still, it was more than enough time to meet many new furry friends!

First up Rosie the therapy dog.

Then there was Ubin the dog whose foot was trapped in a boar trap. Sadly it had to be amputated but he has bounced back tremendously! Rescued and now in a loving home!

Cookie and Baloo and adorable duo.

Of course some dogs choose not to walk..

but to talk instead

Ozzy looking good with her new shoes..and who can resist a pug?

The dogs seemed to have a great time there depsite the rain early on. To see more you can check out the flickr album
