Nice shot!

I used the Oly 12-100 with an off-camera flash (Godox) and a soft box. It took a few tries to get the right location for the flash. The normal angle from the front and side doesn't work with a dog's big nose! The flash box needed to be more in front of dog that with a person. This dog is very mellow, so she sat through many test pictures. We call it our doggy glamour shot.
