I do photography as hobby and decided to do a mini photo shoot with my sulcata. I submitted one to the calendar contest and here are the rest. Hope you like.

I saw and voted for your submission, as I was once a photog student, camera was stolen, now I draw. [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

(I submitted the monster Sully raiding the fridge) [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
That's Oliver, he sorta does what he wants to. Guess you can when you are a 50 lb tortoise!!

Your pictures are beautiful! Exactly my style. I also love sepia and b/w. I go for simple with good composition....or texturing. Nice work!!!


PS: Love the name, favorite sauce as well, however, I refer to it as "**** Sauce" but that gets me in trouble on occasion. But since I'm 41, I sorta do what I feel. [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Wow,,, are you for hire??!

Possibly but where are you? .. Im in Dallas, Tx area. What are you wanting to shoot? Ive done professional shoots such as sports action or senior pics. The tortoise thing was for fun. I do photography mostly for hobby now though as my full time job and kids eat up most of my time.

Can you repeat that shoot but make feet the subject? Particularly hind feet! OH MY DOG! Sulcata feet are the best!

I have a whippet breeder friend that did a photo book on her whippets feet...it was beautiful...all b/w and adorable...lots of interesting shading

Definitely... I do want to do a shoot of the back little feet. Very cute.

I think it would be lots of fun to have everyone bring in there tortoises and do a full blown photoshoot for a calendar. I have all the gear necessary.

Fantastic shots. My husband is a photographer, but he won't shoot animals :( boo, sniff
I admit I absolutely voted for your little one. Loved the composition and the shot is so perfectly focused. I kept blowing it up to look at the details. You are very talented and had a great little subject to work with!
