recently got the chance to meet and be photographed by Mia and her Team from ZimtStudio, visiting all the way from Barcelona!
ZimtStudio are returning to Harlow, Essex, this October to set up another pop up studio and have given me an exclusive 15% discount for any package booked when the code DOGTORADEM at checkout.
Here are just a few of the wonderful photos captured of me and my dogs, and you can find more examples of their incredible ‘Portraits with Character’ photography over on their website and instagram.
MORE FROM ZIMTSTUDIO:
We are Zimtstudio, a highly specialised photography studio, exclusively dedicated to taking portraits of dogs. We are located in Barcelona, Spain, where we are currently the leading photography studio for all things canine 🙂
You can also find some more info about us here.
Last year we decided to set up a pop-up studio with all the necessary equipment in Newhall, Harlow. We did a weekend of sessions in October ’23 and after a very successful weekend, decided to come back for a third round this October!
HOW DOES A ZIMTSTUDIO SESSION WORK:
We work the following way: Our session together will last around 1 hour, even though we don’t put a strict time limit. A ZimtStudio session is all about fun, so the most important thing is that the dog feels relaxed and comfortable in our studio, just like at home. During the session I always work with my assistant. Apart from being a professional photographer, we are also both dog trainers with over 10 years of experience. The well being of the animals is our top priority. We know how to make dogs feel comfortable and relaxed and by doing so, we allow for the dog’s personality to really shine through in the pictures.
In our sessions we go beyond a “pretty picture” and create portraits of dogs that truly speak about their unique personality. We bring out all those special traits and quirks that will make the owner later look at the portraits and immediately recognise their pup and what makes them so special to them.
The pop-up sessions will take place in Newhall, Harlow. The studio is on street level (converted garage) and can be accessed without any stairs. There is also access to a big private garden, where we can take breaks during the photo shoot. There are no other dogs present during the client’s session time and the dog can be off lead during the entire time. Treats and toys are waiting for them. It’s a special day for the dog, where they are the star of the show! 🙂
After the session, our work is not finished: 1 week after the session we will send the client an online gallery with a preselection of the +40 best images. The client will choose their favourites and let us know their final selection
We will then start the editing process. We need 10 working days to professionally edit the chosen photographs. This is where we give them the typical “Zimtstudio” look, which you can see here on our Instagram.
In the end, the client will receive professionally edited digital photographs without watermarks, which they can conveniently download over WeTransfer.
PACKAGES:
We offer 3 packages during our pop-up studio in Essex (all digital portraits because we will be back in Barcelona by the time of final delivery).
