First look at our shoot with Nick Memphis Media for his Signature Urban Series! Such an awesome shot, and I’m really excited to see the rest. Definitely check out his work if you’re looking for something a little different and timeless with your dog. Thanks for capturing this, Nick!
Mals are absolutely no joke, and they require a highly specialized set of hands to manage that level of intensity.
I had the honor of working with my friend Sarah for an early morning session. She handles her fair share of Malinois, and luckily, she is a professional trainer and a decoy competing in PSA who knows exactly how to handle that drive.
We started the session with Vali, capturing a specific concept I call “Doggie Jail” for my signature Urban Series up in Anoka. As a photographer specializing in high-drive dogs, you have to be ready for anything.
Let’s just say Vali took the concept a bit too literally—she made a quick break for it, jumped up, and squeezed herself right through the parking garage rails. 😳
Ooops. Luckily, she is completely fine and unbothered.
But that is exactly the point. Mals are a lot to handle and definitely not for the inexperienced. They don’t see barriers the way normal dogs do, which is why executing a clean, architectural portrait in a chaotic environment requires total control from both the handler and the person behind the lens.
Enjoy this first teaser from the set—much more to come from this session! 😍
Now booking a limited slots for my signature Urban Series.
