Madaboutgreys Photoshoots

with Liz Coleman

 

Whether you’re interested in an outdoor shoot or a studio one, the process involved is much the same. Learn about the steps involved here, along with the range of products and artwork available.

  • Two dogs sitting against a black background, one with a brown coat and the other with a cream coat.

    What happens now?

    You’ve purchased a Madaboutgreys shoot. What happens next?

    First we’ll have a telephone chat to talk about what you have in mind for the shoot, what your dog(s) are like, and whether studio or location would work best. We’ll discuss studio backgrounds, or locations if we are shooting outdoors, and agree dates and timings. Once all the details are sorted I’ll send you a photoshoot plan and confirmation.

  • A brown and black dog sitting outdoors on a patch of ground covered with leaves and small plants, with a blurred background of trees and foliage.

    The Photoshoot

    At this point, the creative process begins. Whether it’s a studio session or one on location, my aim is to ensure that your dog is relaxed and comfortable, and to create a pleasant experience for you both.

    Then, with your dog chilled, and the technical aspects all gripped (of course), the moments unfold and the Madaboutgreys magic happens!

    But the magic doesn’t end there. After your shoot, I’ll be carefully working on your images, retouching and polishing to create something truly special. Click right 👉

  • Portrait of a long-haired, tan and white dog with large ears and deep brown eyes, looking at the camera against a black background.

FAQs

  • I'm based in Richmond in west London and cover a large area including London, Surrey, Sussex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, Kent, Essex and Sussex.

    Travel is included to locations within a 20 mile radius of Richmond, but I'm happy to travel further afield with just a modest charge for additional mileage.

  • I offer both - the choice is yours.  

    My studio style is elegant and classic, perfect for creating a stunning piece of artwork for your walls.

    Outdoor shoots can take place at a favourite park or local beauty spot, they're more informal: a chance to get some great action shots or relaxed images of your pet in the best of the natural light.

    Let's chat if you can't decide.

  • I've got this! Difficult dogs are my forte. I always give nervous dogs bags of time to settle. I work with rescue animals and understand that they sometimes have special needs and need sensitive handling. And I love canine hooligans.

    I have photographed many hundreds of dogs professionally and have worked with all sorts of personalities.  I'm confident we can work together to get some great images of your pet.

  • Of course!  I was a cat owner for years (or perhaps they owned me…). And I’ve been hooked on cat photography ever since I did a series of cat assignments for a major publisher a few years back.

    I adore photographing horses. I offer lifestyle photoshoots at your livery or a favourite hacking area. Or if you have access to an indoor school or similar and your horse is reasonably chilled I can offer studio style equine portraiture.  

    I've also photographed reptiles,  rabbits, and rare breed sheep for clients.  I love doing interesting commissions for unusual pets - just ask.
