We need a superstar dog model! 🌟

On Friday 22 May at 6:15am (until 7:30am), we'll be demonstrating how we create variety in a single beach location in under an hour - at the off-leash dog beach at The Spit on the Gold Coast.

This is a demo session at a professional photography conference, with around 30 photographers observing, so we need a very special dog.

We're basically looking for a unicorn in dog form. 🦄

Here's exactly what we need:

🐾 Excellent level of training and obedience with the three D's - distance, duration, and distraction

🐾 Excellent, reliable recall

🐾 Solid off-leash stay

🐾 Highly socialised and not overly interested in other dogs - it's an off-leash beach so there will be other dogs around

🐾 Confident and comfortable around crowds of people

🐾 Medium to large size for visibility in front of a big group

If your dog ticks every single one of those boxes, we'd love to hear from you!

TO APPLY: Drop a comment below with a photo of your dog and tell us exactly why they're the right fit for this. Treat it like a job application - we need all the info please!

What's in it for you?

A professional beach shoot with me (Charlotte Reeves) and my business partner Craig Turner-Bullock (Furtography), plus a gallery of high resolution images from two of the world's leading pet photographers. 📸

And the absolute thrill of being famous for 75 minutes. 😉

I have so many images of this handsome guy that it was too hard to choose just one to post, so here's a small collection instead.

I photographed Paddy while in New Zealand in April this year with the rest of the Unleashed Education team. Our main purpose was to film some educational videos, but of course, we couldn't resist just a few shots for ourselves, and to pass onto the dog owners as thanks for their time.

I think you'll agree, Paddy is a super handsome Lab, and had the "blue steel" straight-down-the-barrel-of-the-lens pose absolutely nailed. Thanks so much for sharing him with us Caitlin!

Oh and if you're wondering about the location, it's Queenstown Gardens. Not the easiest spot to shoot but it has some lovely spots!
