Mollye Miller Photography: "Unusual Pet Project"  Baltimore, MD 
Thank you for your interest in my very literal "pet project!" 

In this series, I'm photographing pets and their humans to showcase the surprising and captivating creatures our neighbors have inside their front doors, and to share the story of how they met and bonded. 

I'm interested in the understated moments that shape the companionship. I enter each shoot with the goal of photographing the relationship from both the animal and human perspective.

Through these photographs I want to show how the unlikely relationship shapes empathy and understanding with creatures who are uniquely different from us and fascinating to attempt to understand.

Answering the questions in this form will help me 1) learn more about you and your pet, 2) make sure I don't duplicate animals or animal types (reptile, mammal, insect, aquatic, etc.) and 3) pick animals and owners who I believe have a pet story that I can tell in pictures and that the world should know about.

Note: All photoshoots will take place on the pet owner's property.

**Another note: My goal is to pitch this completed photo essay to BmoreArt magazine and/or another publication. So I'd need you and anyone else who wishes to participate (kids, partners, extended family) to sign a model release. See final question on this form.

Please see my blog for an example of the photo essays and write-ups I've created for the people and unusual animals I've met so far. 

Thank you (and your pet) so much!

Who all lives in your household who I might meet during the shoot? (List any other pets here, too.)
Are you open to being photographed alongside your pet?
I love a good photoshoot! Photograph me as much as you can!
I'll tolerate it...but concentrate on my pet mostly please
Clear selection
Tell me a bit about your pet. (e.g. "Frankfurter loves to hang upside down in the in bathroom while I'm getting ready in the morning.")
How do you and your pet relax together?
How do you and your pet play together?
What's a surprising fact specific to your pet I would likely never guess? (i.e. "Frankfurter loves pickles!")
What's a general fact about this animal I'd likely never guess? (i.e. "Flying Squirrels love butternut squash!")
Why do you want to participate in this project? 
Is your pet friendly with strangers?
99.9% of the time my pet is an absolute love-bug!
I mean....describe "friendly." They'll tolerate you. To be safe I'd say no sudden movements (i.e. I'll need to keep you safe)
Clear selection
Why did you choose this animal to love and care for at home? 
How do you think you and your animal are psychologically compatible? For instance, my dog is high energy, playful and reluctant to get close with others and cuddle...just like me! Feel free to go as deep or surface as you'd like with this question.  *
In what part of Baltimore City or County do you live?
List three possible dates that could work for you in the February - April range? (weekdays encouraged!) Note: if we already determined a date, put N/A for this one. *
Does your pet have an Instagram or Facebook account? If so, please share it here. (Obvi need to follow them now.)
Model Release (abbreviated version, contract to follow if if you are selected for the photo project) 

By typing your initials here, you agree a "Model Release" clause which means you allow me to use any photos of you and your pet and all participants in the shoot on my website, promotional materials, for photography contests, digital and print publications, and social media.
Any health or other issues I should know about your pet?
Please share anything else you'd like me to know here!
