A bit of a late post.
Last Wednesday, I was invited to the launch party of Dogue’s newest store, opened up in Cremorne, Sydney.
For those of you who are interstate or from overseas, Dogue is Sydney’s coolest pet shop. What could be more fun than cute pooches and happy people.
Just to give you an idea, here are the images I’ve documented from the night. Enjoy!
For those who are interested in commissioning photography for an event with me, drop me a note via my contact form on my website.
Do check out the Dogue store for their latest Winter dog coats and jumpers, not to mention matching accessories - fitted for all kinds and sizes of pooches.

DOGUE COVERDOG
Last weekend it was the drama, the glamour, the fun and the pooches at Dogue’s annual COVERDOG event. twoguineapigs played paparazzi and had a total ball photgraphing the models.
COVERDOG was a fundraising event aimed at helping the Animal Welfare League and the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home. twoguineapigs had a pop-up with two sets, one operated by your humble blogger and the other by my partner-in-crime-for-the-day - the good natured and talented photographer Calvin Galang.
Together we photographed a selection of gorgeous dogs, all in competition to be the best at a selection of doggie activities - including being fashion models - well it wasn’t that serious (at least I don’t think it was! But I think the dogs did take it seriously!)
But “shooting” was just the end part of a lot of organising. We had to arrange props, figure out lighting and the space, and prepare for a crowd of dogs (and people).
Poor Calvin had to work his way through quite a few planning sessions with yours truly - and I am still worried I forced him to stay up way past his bed time on several occasions :P. The work life balance at twoguineapigs possibly needs to be reviewed next year. As well, my donkey assistant/partner probably needs a holiday as he has lately been locking himself in the bathroom and refusing to come out.
On the day itself we had to haul a lot of gear about the place - professional photography involves a lot of equipment and I think we all came close to lying on our backs half dead by the end (the donkey partner looked especially pale).
One bonus though - it only rained after the competition (not always the way it goes) :).
Thanks to Dogue and EQ, to the owners and of course the wonderful Dogue dogs that turned up for a romp in the sun - and congratulations to the winners: Gwen the Mini-Pomeranian (centre); Henry the Cavalier X Terrier (left) and Timmy the Cavalier X Papillion ! :)

twoguineapigs out at Dogue | Winter Sale Event | Dog photography
twoguineapigs met a bunch of out-and-about pooches this weekend at the Dogue Winter Sale. The sale was a special day not only because of the potential for a bit of canine photo posing and great bargains - Amy who runs Puppy Pre-school was also there to offer advice on any poochy behavioural quirks that might be a bit confusing to humans.
We all had an enjoyable day. The weather was crisp and sunny - a perfect Sydney winter day. And Dogue is one cool shop - the staff are friendly and owners who came had a relaxing time. Its lucky the dogs didn't have their own credit cards - there might have been some serious maxing out if they had!
Thanks to all who came - it was great to meet you!

Festival fever
Spring in Sydney is usually a busy time with festivals, fairs, fetes, etc.
Last weekend, we checked out the Newtown Festival &mdash an annual event held by the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre for more than 30 years.
I love heading out to community events like these and documenting the experience from a spectator's point of view; something fun to do in my 'spare' time. The style is very different from hire sessions.
It sure was a hot Spring morning when we got there, not to mention the crowd — people and dogs about.
There are definitely lots of things to see, to buy and to do — performances to watch, pony rides.
Soap for dog — anyone?
It's important to locate the public toilets.
I had to try a potato on a stick, chilli flavour and man, it was super hot even for my standard!
Watching these kids (and adults) having fun brought back my childhood memories.
