Dogs and their owners

After I showed the first of my 'dog and owner' images to a small group of students from my course, there was a few points that I noted down from their feedback. The first being that the image was not straight on, I had noticed this in Hugo's work because all of his photographs are straight on with a full view of the Hyena and the owner/ handler. I knew that this was the case when I took the photograph but was unable the front on photograph that was desired. I will make sure that the set up for my next images are better and conform to the typical Hugo's photograph.

Another point from the feedback sessions is that the background of Pieter Hugo's photographs  are quite dull, full of clouds and quite cold looking. I will try to make this similar in my photographs by choosing the right time of day but this is not something that I am worried about. The thing that I am wanting to focus some attention on is the cropping/ set up of the photograph when taking it.
