Marissa with Moose, Kensi and Honey



Advertising photography is one of the best rackets going for photographers. First of all it is overpaid and then the skills required are more in the area of being able to organize a good lunch for up to 20 people and cope with everybody there wanting the shot done slightly differently from each other, than it is in taking a striking photograph. Some advertising photographs, however, are among the finest pictures ever  taken especially the still life pictures of Irving Penn.

The pictures above are advertising pictures that I was not paid to do, neither did I have to organize lunch or have anybody breathing down my neck. I was happy to do them for the Animal Rescue Foundation of Beacon NY, where Caroline volunteers and it was taken to show how lovely the puppies held by volunteer Marissa are, and with the intention of finding the puppies homes. As these picture have had 15,000 viewers on Facebook, that will probably not be difficult.
