Thank you for viewing our shelter photography. In October, 2011, we started taking pet portraits - using whatever resources were at hand - at the Orange County, Florida, Animal Services Pet Rescue and Adoption Center, located at 2769 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839-2162. Available pets from Orange County can be viewed at http://www.ocnetpets.com and at the Facebook page maintained by the shelter, found at http://www.facebook.com/orangecountyanimalservices. In May, 2013 we began working with Osceola County Animal Services, located at 3910 Old Canoe Creek Road, St. Cloud, FL 34769. As they expand their public outreach to place more of their animals in good homes, their adoptable pets can be viewed here: http://www.osceolacountypets.com. Please help them by publicizing the excellent work their staff is doing to put the focus on live animal release. Our relationship with Osceola County Animal Services ended as of October 31, 2019. We were pleased to have been of service to them and to have helped re-home many animals over the six-and-a-half years of our mutual relationship. We donated our working materials to the shelter when we departed. Our volunteer photographers are of many skill levels, from professionals to enthusiasts to point-and-shooters, but all participants have a common desire and passion to pawsitively present shelter animals to the public as viable and desirable pets. As our collective experience grows our methods (hopefully) will attain a consistently higher quality and rate of success. We have posted a few short tutorials about various aspects of how we do what we do. One is a short, comprehensive video on how to process photos to achieve best results for the pets we photograph, with a main emphasis on Photoshop. It is found here. Two others explore both Lightroom and Photoshop and explain topics such as cropping, exposure, catchlight, and leash removal in one video, and in another video, how to resize and export from Lightroom. A fourth discusses another method of cleaning a white backdrop using adjustment layers in Photoshop. We hope that this information is of use to all of our volunteer photographers and anyone who wishes to emulate our work elsewhere. If you have specialized photographic or retouching skills, or are an experienced animal handler and wish to work with us, please contact us using the contact links on this website or via the Facebook or Twitter links provided. We hope you will share our pawsitive vision and our inspiration. Pass the word, adopt a pet, make a friend, save a life. Please note that we are not offering goods or services for sale through this website, which is used primarily for storage of photos of animals we photograph, and a location where the shelter(s) we service can access and download the photos we take for them. |
