Love this shot Brian. How did you get Ali to pose for this? I think I would struggle with my dog Frank!

It's a composite Tim. Shot Ali in Low Key, then a friend of mine shot me in Low Key. I took the two images and combined them in photoshop. A really easy way to do this is to set up the camera, use the timer to take a photo of yourself, say sitting to the right of the frame. Then take a photo of the dog sitting to the left. You can even take a photo of the same background. All 2 or 3 images with the same settings. Open them in PS and blend them. Obviously much easier if someone else takes the photo of you both, but then its not your creation.

Thanks for the explanation Brian. That will probably be my only chance of getting something similar with Frank!
