Sian has discovered an amazing way to capture the Black Standard exquisitely - use the golden afternoon sun!

Black Standard schnauzers are stunning in real life, but not as easy to capture in photographs as the Pepper/Salt. Here are some tips for taking good photographs of your Black Standard:

• Use the great outdoors and preferably full sun. While a Pepper/Salt always photographs well and looks amazing, you will need to use good lighting for a Black.

• Use a fill-in flash to bring out the Black coat.

• And as Sian has discovered, use different types of light the two ‘Afternoon Sun’ shots are exquisite and show Freddie at his best.
