I was thinking that a 10' X 10" Gazebo w/ sides ($200 on Amazon) would make a nice little portable dogtography studio. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KF4M3Z2?pf_rd_p=019ad97c-f17...
So I thought I'd try it w/ the 10x10 in my backyard.
Plenty of places to rig lights, backdrops or green screens. Also the sides would be a big advantage at adoption events where the subjects are always distracted by other dogs etc.
Wondering if anyone else has tried this?

If you wanne take shots like I do for the PersonalCyclingProject, you have to be prepared to look like a fool really !-)
28" Westcott softbox (with 3 SB800's inside) mounted on a monopod: the mobile softbox solution!
having a VAL along really helps! Anselm (pictured above) is one very fine VAL.
even here (in wind and rain) this combo worked marvels!
to see what it does, take a look at:
Lightning setup: softbox with sb900 at 1/10 just behind me and natural light coming through a window.
Strobist: SB910 in softbox left 1/32. Natural like back.

I remember the first day I set foot in the studio. I'd just signed a six month lease. I walked into the space with Jenna and thought, "Alright, now what?" Months earlier, I'd bought a Canon 430EX, a couple umbrellas, light stands, flash trigger and receivers. Aside from the flash unit, little else had even left the box. It was time to change that.
The studio I had leased was a co-op studio. The upsides were low cost, location, a very large studio space, and a slew of "house" accessories, which included, studio lights, muslin backgrounds, 10 foot wide paper roll backgrounds, light stands, booms, umbrellas, softboxes, a few faux antique couches, an old baby stroller, antique children's chair, feather boas, hats, inflatable toys, and amplified speakers to hook iPods up to. The downsides were scheduling studio time when you wanted it and that, occasionally, house accessories would go missing or be mysteriously broken.
I found studio photography to be a world different from landscape photography. At first, Jenna and I fooled around and played with everything just to see how it worked. We took silly shots that were funny to us, but weren't what you'd call professional. In some ways, the plethora of items to play with made you feel like a kid in a candy store. The first time I made a studio light pop, I thought I might have broken it. Then I learned it was normal to hear an audible pop followed by the light going out briefly after it flashed. Even learning that the studio light was actually two lights used together fascinated me.
But I also found lighting a bit difficult. It's funny, I'd owned a camera for a few years, and felt pretty confident in my ability to use it. But in the studio, I had to admit that I didn't know what I was doing and had to re-learn my camera. I don't feel like I have a big ego, but I had to let go of what I'd been holding onto to move forward. It took more time to learn these new skills than I'd thought. There were nights when I'd leave without a single good photo, not know why, and felt extremely frustrated.
But successes did finally come with more regularity. Jenna modeled for me in the beginning, which helped a good deal, but I needed more time to work out lighting subtleties. I needed a model who would be at my beck and call, at anytime of the day. So, I bought a mannequin bust and wig on eBay. Almost immediately, the mannequin helped me learn more about what I was after. I also read a couple books on studio lighting that helped me through my trial and error process.
In the beginning, having multiple light sources was odd to me. It was like telling a landscape photographer, "Here are three suns. Place them in a way that will look pleasing to the landscape." At first, it's a mind fuck. Then, you're like, "You, sun #1, I want you to be really soft and diffused, about 18 inches above the eye level of the subject, about two feet away and facing the subject. You'll also be about 9 feet from the background because I only want a portion of your light to reach the background. Sun #2, I want you to focus a 30 degree beam of light on the middle of the background, just behind where the subject will be sitting. Sun #3, you need to be way off to the side and behind the subject, facing the subject, and shining harsh light on the subject's hair and shoulders. Alright, now get to work!" Before I knew it, I was even building my own softboxes and reflectors.
The photo above was from when I was just starting to get a little better and thought a shadow puppet break was in order. Learning studio photography has been quite an experience. And continues to be.
Quite an old image of Troy from the archives, very nearly didn't make the cut!

This picture was taken about 4.5 hours after the pictures that you see down below in the first comment. I had assumed that flower would close up by then middle of the day, but that's because I don't know much about cactus. By the time the sun came out, the bees were all over it. Nature in action.
Lighting stuff: I lit this with a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox, hand held above and at camera right. I used a camera setting that recorded just a little bit of ambient light, with the main light coming from the softbox. The flash was in manual mode, and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other pictures that I've taken of cactus are in my Cactus and Succulents set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
