Mystery Model: Poodle style

Well since we are still squarely in the "surprise holiday gift" zone I can't really share any specifics about this shoot - which is a shame because there are some really fun tidbits I would like to include to accompany these images... I would also like to share some great images of this pooch's human, but alas that could give it all away!

So instead I will keep this brief and simple and just say: this is one cool poodle :)




This is also a great example of how studio lighting can make all the difference for a dog that is black as night (and therefor VERY hard to photograph)
