Lhasa Apso: Wrapping Puppy in Muslin

Okay, so I'm gonna wrap her. (puppy whimpering) Do you want her belly down or back? Yeah, let's go this way. Got her little head that way. (puppy whimpering) Baby, you were sleeping. (hushing) I wanna, whenever I wrap them I wanna have their paws out. So that way, you can see those up by the face. (puppy whimpering) And like human babies, you don't wanna wrap them too tight. And also you wanna make sure that they don't overheat so the temperature is set at a nice comfortable temperature. So it's not hot it's not cold. (puppy whimpering) (hushing) Hey. Hi. Hello. Look at that little face. So some puppies freak out when you put them on their backs. She seems pretty relaxed. She's looking around though. She's just staring at me, it's so cute. I'm gonna get you to come and hold her while I put her in there. So the idea to wrap is just to keep her nice and kind of comfortable but add that little bit of extra texture. I'm gonna go around one more time. You are too cute. So whenever I am ...

wrapping I wanna make sure that it's not distracting so that it's nice and smooth and doesn't look too big and bulky. And when we pop her down in here she's gonna fill this space. You are so sweet. Yeah. It looks really, crazy cute. Okay do you wanna sit down here with her? Hi. Good good. So what I've done here is, I've got a towel in around there to create a little bit of head support and then down in here there's nothing so I can put her little body down in there and then I can tuck this wrap and around her. There you go. (hushing) I think she just looks adorable with her eyes open. Up does. I'm gonna keep rubbing her little head there so she stays nice and calm. She's going to sleep. Yeah. (giggling) Oh my goodness. Okay, so camera settings to this, I'm gonna shoot 2.3rds of the stop overexposed and I'm coming all the way over so her head is nice and close to the camera. If I shot from down here, I'm gonna make that bottom half really large and I'm gonna lose her little head. So I wanna make sure that I get over, nice and high coming down on that straight camera angle. (camera shutter opens) That is cute. Just gonna tuck some of that wrap in there so it's not so big. Yeah, do you want to bring this paw in underneath? This one underneath? Would you? I recon this one. There we go. Oh my goodness. (camera shutter opens) Perfect.

I am not a photographer. I do compositing using Photoshop and was interested in seeing how they set up and pose such lively subjects. Such care was taken with the puppies and I learned a lot about getting just the right poses using different setups like muslin, bowls, etc. For compositing, it's important to know what you are looking for in order to bring images together correctly. This course, besides being fun to watch, has helped me, even if my images don't wiggle as much as these puppies.

I loved everything about this class!! It was so obvious by the handling and the way you interacted with the puppies how much care and thought goes into the artwork you created. I'm so excited to put all of your ideas into my own creativity. Thank you for providing me with the inspiration to move forward with pet photography!
