After asking around for tents that I could borrow, it seems as though people use their tents for camping leaving them dirty and unpicturesque. I went to the store this morning and bought a tent so that I could use it for this shoot (as well as for camping). I also picked up a matching chair just in case I need something to block light, hide an extension cord or just look good.
I had already purchased various accessories for my dog to go backpacking with me including, a backpack, life vest, boots and various toys. These items are all from the same company, Ruff Wear. Since all of these products happen to be the same brand, I was glad to take advice from Ruwan and Brent to avoid the shoot looking like a product shoot.
The green carpet idea was great but purchasing something that I'll never use again didn't fly with my wife (but I did get a tent out of the deal).
