Alaska, mid-yawn, about ten seconds into a session she had not agreed to. Shot against black so the coat had to carry the whole frame — a Samoyed is essentially a lighting problem, all that white fur one stop away from blowing out. Monochrome because there was no colour in the picture worth keeping. It looks ferocious and she is the least ferocious animal I have ever met.
