Colin from Burns Pet Nutrition, a company specialising in natural holistic pet foods contacted me for a selection of images for some new packaging ideas – designed to show that their dog food is suitable for all manner of breeds from large to small.
Burns pet nutrition is a sponsor for Danetrain – a company specialising in supplying fully trained dogs – including but not limited to Great Danes to the film and TV industry. Carole from Danetrain brought along a total of 11 dogs, and we chose 3 for our shoot: Tucker the Great Dane, Lofty the Chihuahua and Ivor, a Patterdale Terrier. All 3 dogs are experienced actors/models, and turned out to be great to work with!
So… want to see some pictures? Here we go then. Let’s start with a group shot…

Tucker is absolutely huge, and towered over “Lofty”!
And finally, one of Ivor on his own…
If you think you recognise Ivor, that may be because he is currently appearing in a TV commercial for Olympus cameras, which you can see here: Olympus commercial footage from Utube
Well, the shoot was a lot of fun to do, and I think we got some great pictures.
