Dog Model Application
Occasionally Travis needs a dog model for various reasons. This could be for testing out a new location or technique, shooting for personal projects or for his portfolio. All dog breeds, of any sizes and colors are welcome to apply. Good looks are not a free ticket to acceptance – your dog must also meet all of the training and socialization criteria below.
If you are able to answer YES to these questions:
Located in Northwest Suburbs of Chicago IL.
Willing to sign a model/property release for your dog, and optionally for yourself if you wish to be included in the photos.
Willing and able to handle and direct your dog for the duration of the shoot if required.
Available on weekends.
Available in the early morning (sunset + 2 hours) or late afternoon (2 hours before sunset) for sessions.
Does your Dog have these skills?
Be calm and confident in unfamiliar, noisy and busy environments.
Be easily directed, alert and interested in strange surroundings.
Be obedience trained - bare minimum of sit, down/drop.
Have excellent leash manners.
Be reliable in off-lead situations with excellent recall.
Be confident and willing to work for other handlers when required.
By submitting your animal to the StinkEye Photography model database in no way guarantees that he / she will be chosen for a photo shoot. Travis will notify you if your animal has been selected for further inquiry, and it’s always your choice if you want to participate in a potential photo shoot.
You will receive two 8x10 prints and watermarked, web resolution images to share with friends and family and the option to purchase prints, products and digital images.
**Note that StinkEye Photography is not an animal talent agency**
Please complete the following questionnaire separately for each animal. This provides Travis with information on how best to direct the session, and to work with your dog in a way that is safe, and fun for all involved.
