Behind the Scenes: The Making of Dogs of New York City

Hi Everyone, 

I hope by now that you've all had the chance to explore my latest series, Dogs of New York City. With the magic of NYC as my muse, I created a fantasy world filled with fashionable dogs exploring iconic locations around the city. It was so fun watching it all come to life! 

Although we had a very clear vision of the images we wanted to capture for this shoot, it wasn't until we were actually on set that everything really came to life. Miraculously, we were able to shoot everything in one day at several iconic locations around town. Once we were onsite, we began to play around with the accessories and saw what the dogs were capable of.  This was when my imagination really began running wild and I got more and more excited with each click of my camera. After we wrapped the Channel Gardens scene, the whole team walked from Rockefeller Center to Central Park which, as you can only imagine, was quite the sight to see: a group of dogs, owners, and a large prop van following us walking in what might have looked like a parade! 

. Although I've shot some amazing exotic animals in my series Gray Malin at the Parker, I love working with dogs, especially the ones in the shoot! They were so well behaved and an absolute joy to work with. Be sure to check out my Dogs at The Beverly Hills Hotel  series as well. All the dogs were so sweet and friendly - I was thrilled with the variety of poses and looks they were able to offer, and I'm so happy with how the series came out.
