Greyhound Photography

[louise]

Hi Everyone,

I am a London photography student at Central Saint Martins College working currently on my final project which is based around racing greyhounds. I have previously been to kennels of retired hounds and breeders, but would like to extent the project to include some imagery of re-homed dogs in their new families to portrait the true characters of those great animals.

I am therefor contacting you in hope that to find out if any of you would be interested in helping me complete my project in letting me come to your home and taking pictures of you and your dog(s). I am preferably looking for dogs and their families in the London area.

The images will go toward my final degrees show which is taking place end of June in Central London and I am more than happy to give you professional prints of the final imagery.

I would be very obliged if you could let me know if this is possible and am willing to negotiate a price also if necessary.


I am looking forward to be hearing from anyone that is interested.

Wishing you a happy week,
Louise

Hi Louise
You are welcome to come and take some photos of our 6 year old retired greyhound Ben. We are just outside London, on the met tube line.

Hi louise, your project sounds brilliant! Unfortunately I live in canvey island (near southend on sea) so I'm right out the way for you! I hope it goes well and you get done fantastic photos!! ;D

Please let me know if you are available next Wednesday, Friday or Saturday.

Thanks.

Hey again,


I really apologize for not replying any earlier. I am at the moment in the last couple of weeks of my course and in midst of all the preparation for my degree show and therefore didn't manage to post anything any earlier.

@ Gail: Thank you so much again for having me over. I got some really nice shots of you and your incredibly beautiful dog. I have posted a couple here in low resolution, but I will burn a CD with the full set and send them to you with the print on Monday.

@ Alison and Joethehound: Thank you so much for the offer. I would love to come and shoot some portraits of you and your dogs as well. Since I am very short on time at the moment however, I will have to get back to you in a bit though, once I don't have so much to do anymore. I hope this is not a problem.

Cheers,
Louise
