Dave, During the course of my work I film animals by the ark-load. You know what the best asset is? Being able to attract the attention of the sitter (s). Practice your animal impersonations - whistling and shouting a dog's name will get you nowhere - you need to speak Dog. Speaking Cat is much worse. Heaven forbid if there are two or more sitters together. Anyway I won't teach you how to suck (duck's) eggs. You asked about charging - I'd name your own rate if I were you. Meanwhile, I have a friend who used to be an RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and shot animal portraiture at the weekend as a sideline. It overtook his life and now does it full time: <http://www.nickridley.com/> He has some books out: <http://www.nickridley.com/publications.htm> Best of luck mate. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
