What A Pet Photographer Does When He Finds A Piano In The Trash
When I saw this old kid's piano in my neighbors trash waiting to be picked up, I knew it had possibilities. The pink and purple colors are just perfect for my eclectic style of Pet Photography. One of my clients had dyed her dogs hair pink and purple too, so I knew we had to do this shot.

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.

Top 10 Tips for Great Holiday Pet Photos
By Pet Photographer Richie Schwartz
Top 10 Tips for Great Holiday Pet Photos
By Pet Photographer Richie Schwartz
1 – If your pup is going to wear an outfit or even just a Santa hat, put it on a couple days before to make sure it fits, but more importantly, to see how your pup likes it and to let him/her get used to it.
2 – Try to bring your pup to the store/location where the pictures will be taken in advance to let him/her get used to the smells, noise, and hustle and bustle of the store.
3 - Buy a holiday toy that would look nice in the holiday picture and give it to the dog to play with a day or two before picture day. Bring it with you when you go for the pictures, it may help your dog feel more comfortable.
4 – Bring some of Fido’s favorite treats in case “bribery” is required.
5 – The photographers will most likely be using a camera with a flash, so I suggest that you practice taking pictures with a flash at home. Take a picture and quickly give the dog a treat. Let him make the connection that a flash will lead to a treat. This technique may help your dog sit calmly through a few shots if needed.
6 – Holiday picture days are typically very popular and there can be long lines to wait on. To avoid standing in long lines, arrive early in the day. You might even call the photographer at the store and ask what time would be least crowded.
7 – If you are using a professional photographer in a private photo studio, most likely you will be making an appointment. Make the appointment for a time when your dog has already eaten and has taken care of “business”.
8 – Try not to make any changes to the dog’s regular routine. Feed, use the bathroom, and exercise as usual if possible.
9 - It usually helps to take your dog for a long walk or run before the photo session, especially if you have one of the more active breeds or mixed breeds.
10 – Even after taking some or all of these steps, some dogs may not sit for a photo for one reason or another. Don’t get frustrated, give your pup an extra hug and remember it is all about having fun.

Photographer Named Among Top 25 Pet People
NBC UNIVERSAL’S PETSIDE.COM NAMES “TOP 25 PET PEOPLE OF 2010”
Pet Photographer Richie Schwartz included On List of Extraordinary Newsmakers, With Emmy-Award Winners, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey, and Betty White Rounding Out The List.
PRESS RELEASE
New York, NY (December 21, 2010) – As 2010 comes to an end, Petside.com the preeminent site for pet owners and pet enthusiasts, has released its first-ever list of the “Top 25 Pet People of 2010”. The list, which includes both unsung heroes and celebrity activists such as Ellen DeGeneres, Elayne Boosler, Oprah Winfrey and Betty White, is led by one extraordinarily generous dermatologist from Denver, Colorado, Dr. Leslie Capin, who donated $1 million in contest winnings to several local animal shelters.
“Whether it was organizing efforts to help animals in Haiti, rescuing 100 beagles from a bankrupt testing lab in New Jersey, or photographing homeless animals for adoption, so many pet-lovers raised awareness and donated resources for the benefit of pets everywhere,” said Wendy Toth, Editor of Petside.com. “Petside’s list recognizes these extraordinary people and their effect on the pet community.”
Petside based the rankings on the individual’s impact on the welfare of pets, the public profile of pets in need and on their ability to inspire others to action. Ranging from public figures to everyday citizens, animal-loving tweens and reformed bad-boys, Petside.com’s “Top 25 Pet People of 2010” runs the gamut of headline-making newsmakers.
Included on the list are:
Leslie Capin – Won $1 million in cute dog contest and gave it to shelters.
Ellen DeGeneres – Donated 5,000 meals from her pet food company to a pet food bank.
Cathy King, DVM – Founder of World Vets; deployed a team to help pets in Haiti.
Elayne Boosler - Despite the down economy, her nonprofit provided dozens of grants to rescue groups.
Matt DeAngelis – Helped organize rescue of over 100 beagles from bankrupt testing lab.
Oprah Winfrey– Publicized her adoption of two dogs from a Chicago no-kill shelter.
Richie Schwartz -Celebrity Pet Photographer offers free services to animal shelters and rescue groups.
