  Who says that what you usually shoot means what you are? And can't do anything else.
If you're an outdoor photographer, find a good outdoor location, and add the dogs. That's what portraits mostly require to begin with, a good location.

Hi David,
I do most of my portraits (human & animal) with my 70-200 lens. Background will make or break the image so be conscious of it and the direction of light. I took this one for a fun show using a 10-22mm on a cropped 40D :)
Cheers,
Carlton
