i’ve had a number of email inquiries lately from upcoming clients regarding conversions and whether i do them since there really aren’t that many seen in the regular blog entries. well, i’ll admit … in spite of being an old-school b&w film shooter from years … er … decades ago, and loving b&w and other conversions, i am desperately in love with colour. not just that, but i am downright anal about colour management, saturation and tone, light and white balance … and even after i’ve done conversions, and those b&w’s or aged versions absolutely wow me, i’m still more inclined to show you the colour version. why? because it’s often colour that is the greatest feat.
colour management is one of the reasons i encourage clients to come to the studio consult. saturation, tone, contrast and so many other aspects of the images can change — sometimes drastically — from monitor to monitor, and even from browser to browser; with different browsers using different colour management tools, their results end up sometimes miles away from one another in spite of carefully managed and saved colour profiles at the photographer’s end. when clients come in for their studio consult they are able to see the images on a large-format monitor which is regularly and carefully colour-calibrated and kept in check with the various labs used to print the high-end prints and products scruffy dog offers.
still, some images beg to be converted …
… or given a special treatment …
the following are the typical conversions you get within your regular scruffy dog client gallery:
… as if the scruffy dog client galleries weren’t large enough! 🙂
hope this helps those who have been inquiring. wags!

SylviaIn my house, we call them potty pets and it’s the cat who demands them every morning in exchange for allowing us to feed her breakfast.
Susan HumphreysThis is so funny! I still cannot believe the difference in this little dog
from when you first brought him home. Miraculous.
amy bHeh
Our dogs follow me into the bathroom, also. First it’s curiosity, then they figure out they have a captive audience. When they are feeling especially bondy, they will just come in and lay down on the floor to wait even though it’s only a couple of minutes. Sometimes I think they just like the excitement of going through doors. They seem to recognize the process of going from one place to another and it’s more fun with company.
ursula sooleyOMG Ilona, so funny. That is exactly how it is. I call Maggie my velcro dog. Follows me everywhere, she jumped in the tub once as I was having a bath!! Now she must wait in the hall.
Fabulous post!
JDWhere’s Matea? Hovering in the doorway?
LizMine totally do that too 🙂 We have to leave the door to the bathroom open or they get upset that they can’t come in and check on us. haha

MachonzaMy dogs used to come and put their heads between my knees while I was on the toilet pan. I’d rub their ears, and everyone was happy. Sweet memories.
