Shelter Dog Portraits: 5 Must-Know Tips

In honor of National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, our team headed Animal Care Centers of NYC’s (‪@ACCNYC‬) new facility in Queens to take dog headshots. Gabe and Sam share how to get a pet's attention, how to pose them, what kind of lighting to use, and more.

A big thank you to NYCACC for hosting this shoot with a special thanks to Katy, Lois and Alec who where wonderful both with the animals and our team!
