The Pink and Purple Piano
I found the pink and purple piano in my neighbor's trash and I knew it would make a fun prop, so I threw it in my van. When a groomer brought her dog in for a session and had dyed her pup's hair pink and purple (and orange) , I knew just what prop to use. I capped it off with the pink cloud background and a pink feather boa. What do you think, was it worth my garbage picking?

A Cool Boxer Visited Celebrity Pet Photographer Richie Schwartz
A dog named Buster visited Celebrity Pet Photographer Richie Schwartz in his New York photo studio. I think I did a good job capturing Buster’s personality as he changed poses from whimsical to regal to serious to fun. We are saving the best images for one of my books, but I am sharing a few outtakes from the session. As you can imagine from these images, a ton of fun was had by all.
