RSPCA Prize Winner
This is Zoe, a nine year old Bouvier des Flandres – which would have to be one of the more unusual and rare breeds to be found. She was the winner of a $595 Houndstooth Studio photo session, which was donated as part of our Official Photographer commitment to the RSCPA WA, for their 2009 All Creatures Great and Small Fete’.
Wikipedia tells us: The Bouvier des Flandres is a herding dog breed originating in Flanders. They were originally used for general farm work including cattle droving, sheep herding, and cart pulling, and nowadays as guard dogs and police dogs, as well as being kept as pets. The French name of the breed means, literally, “Cow Herder of Flanders,” referring to the Flemish origin of the breed.

Nala
One of the sweetest and happiest dogs ever, this is Nala. Recently I went to Rockingham to do a special on location studio shoot for Nala and her mum Julz! Not so long ago Nala was at the vets, and was gravely unwell.
So it was fantantastic to see her bounding around during her photo session, fully back on track! She was such a great dog to photograph!
Julz has waited 13 years to have Nala’s photos done and I know she can’t wait to see the finished results!

So Hip – The Hipstamatic
Whilst relaxing in Margaret River during the Easter break, I discovered a fantastic iPhone application called “Hipstamatic”. Once you download the application it works via your iPhone’s built-in camera and replicates the film cameras’ of old – like 50 years ago old! You can select your lens of choice, as well as film and flash units and can then make-up combinations of all three to suit the effect you are after! Shaking the iPhone gives you a surprise mix of lens, film and flash and stirs it all up a bit!
Extra films and lenses are available to buy from the online store. Of course, I had to have the lot, so for the grand total of about $6 including the actual application, I now have the Hipstamatic set!
Daisy volunteered to sit for me in the studio this afternoon whilst I practised with the Hipstamatic. For those who are keen, these shots were taken using the John S lens, Ina’s 1969 film and no flash. I did some grainy black and white shots, but I really like the look of these ones the best – they remind me of photos taken with a Lomo or Holga.
Somehow I don’t think people are going to be rushing to Houndstooth Studio for Hipstamatic images, but I’m finding it loads of fun to use on my happy dog!

The canvas itself is Premier Art matte, a heavyweight 100% cotton canvas with exceptional print quality. Its 2:1 double weave offers superior strength when stretched. This, coupled with Epson’s Ultra Chrome pigment inks, offers superior quality and durability.
Each canvas is treated with Premier Art Eco Printshield Satin – a water based coating which protects from moisture, light, humidity, atmospheric contaminants, abrasion and fingerprints as well as ensuring that the canvas is free from cracking once stretched. The finish contains state-of-the-art UV inhibitors which are designed for pigmented ink output and will provide enhanced ultraviolet durability.
