Melbourne Pet Photographer ~ Lyra's Project ~ Week 22

Hi there! My name is Caitlin and I am a Melbourne Pet Photographer. This year I've joined up with some of my colleagues from the Beautiful Beasties Network (an international group of professional pet photographers) for Project 52, to collectively challenge ourselves and our creativity with a weekly assignment. Every week a different pet photographer chooses a theme, which each person interprets in their own way. The photograph must be taken during that week, and on Friday evening (8pm Aussie time) everyone's blog posts go live. Click the link below to see the next photographer's image and continue around the blog circle until you end up back here - enjoy!

 Meet Melbourne's Superdog!

The theme this week is Big Sky. I think that my girl is always pretty patient with the pet photography concepts we do together, but she really pulled out all the stops this week! She climbed up to the top of the roof so I could see the skyline of Melbourne behind her (with a bit of help from her Poppa - thanks Dad!). Then she posed like the absolute SUPERDOG that she is! I shot from below so I could frame Lyra with the cloudy, stormy sky. Melbourne has notoriously unpredictable weather - this morning it was bright and sunny and then by the time I got home from my sessions it was dark and dramatic. Works for this though - a superhero's life isn't always peachy!

I went for a different look in the post production of my photography to suit the grey skies - it's bluer and darker than I usually do but I love how her red cape and brown hair pops against the blue sky and Melbourne cityscape.

Now head on over to the blog of Spotty Nose Pet Photography, Los Angeles, California to see her take on Big Sky.
