Dog's photoshoot

I've been volunteering at the dog shelter SPCA for over a year, walking dogs and participating in their dog-mentor program. During this summer, I had also the chance to volunteer as photographer!

First, I took pictures during a Dog Behavior Workshop led by the dog trainer Dr Nee Kang (cheerfuldogs.com). I had previously helped in other of her workshops doing an exercise with Dhoby, but I think being the photographer fitted me better.

Ya hace algo mas de un año que voy como voluntaria al refugio de animales SPCA, paseajdo perros y en el programa "dog-mentor". Este verano, ademas, he tenido la oportunidad de ayudar como fotografa!

Primero hice las fotos durante un taller sobre Comportamiento de perros, conducido por la entrenadora de perros  Dr Nee Kang (cheerfuldogs.com). Ya habia ayudado en otro de sus talleres haciendo un ejercicio con Dhoby, pero creo que prefiero ayudar haciendo las fotos.

And last Saturday with did a "glamour photoshoot" with some of the dogs. It was really fun!!! I had the chance to meet some of the mentors I had never talked to before, and of course their lovely mentees. Some of the scenes were specially fun, like major wearing the "army" stuff or Minty and her mentor busking at an overhead bridge.

Y el sabado pasado hicimos una sesion fotografica con algunos de los perros. Fue muy divertido!!! Tuve ademas la oportunidad de hablar con algunos de los otros "mentors" a los que no conocia, y por supuesto a todos los "mentees". Algunas de las representaciones fueron realmente divertidas, como Major y sus complementos de la armada o Minty y su mentor tocando la guitarra en un puente.

Here are some of the pictures:

Estas son algunas de las fotos:

I'm back!

I took two months vacation instead of one, but here I am again :)
I had a great time in Spain and will be posting some picture I took there shortly. Since I returned to Singapore, I didn't take many pictures, but a couple of weekends ago I volunteer as photographer in a workshop the SPCA organized, and I'll be helping them too to take some photos of the dogs. I'll post some of those pictures too.
Since the "1 year, 365 photos" project is over, I should rename the blog, but I don't know which one, any suggestions?
I won't be posting every day now, but I'll try to do it once a week, so see you soon!


Al final me he cogido dos meses de vacaciones en lugar de uno, pero ya he vuelto :)
En España lo pase muy bien, y mas tarde pondre algunas de las fotos que hice alli. Desde que volvi a Singapur no he hecho muchas, pero hace un par de semanas fui la fotografa en un taller organizado por la SPCA, y voy a ayudarles tambien a hacerles fotos nuevas a los perros. Tambien pondre algunas de esas fotos.
Como el proyecto "1 año, 365 fotos" ya se ha acabado, deberia ponerle otro nombre al blog, pero no se cual, alguna sugerencia?
Ya no voy a escribir o publicar fotos cada dia, pero intentare hacerlo una vez a la semana, asi que hasta pronto!
