Taken for a photo competition. Given the stickers as inspiration, take a photo.

I was enjoying coming up with impossible scenarios for these photos. For this one, I decided the most impossible scenario was to get our dog to sit still while our one year old son put stickers all over him. I told my wife, and was surprised when she answered "Sure, we can do that!". So, we gave it a go. It sure was a challenging shoot, and the result is nothing like what I planned, but it was heaps of fun. Both our subjects were as cooperative as can be expected, and we got a bunch of great photos. In this shot, the traitorous yellow sticker giving the game away was totally accidental, but it's my favourite part. Oh, and I think my son is mainly looking guilty because he ate most of the dog treats.

Lighting is from my home-made softbox. Check out the lovely soft shadow behind Dylan! Editing is colours/levels, D&B, crop, resize and sharpen.
