Important equipment for this type of shot:

• Studio light(s) (you can use a 1-light butterfly set up)
• A treat to place onto the perspex
• A square of perspex/acrylic that you can hold in one hand
• A dog that likes the treat!
• A lens with a reasonably shot focussing distance (doesn’t need to be macro)
• Patience and a positive attitude!
