Regal facial expressions with Ninja

This picture was taken home in a home-studio... My personal task with Ninja is to get this somewhat majestic, regal face expression and to have him look more "wolfy" than a dog.

I took it basically on my bed with a black cover and a black backdrop. If you remember the videos of Ninja with Fox Leotie, or Ninja, Smilla and Leotie eating an egg... it was the same setup.

As I do not have a flash I used 3 1000watt lights... one from each side and one from the top.
They are rather cheap ways to get bright clear daylight for dark rooms like this one 😁😁

Today is ThrowbackThursday. I usually skip these special themed posts. Hence I wondered, do you open Instagram and think, oh today there will be great older shots of my favorite accounts... lets see the tongues of the dogs I adore, etc? I mean do you actually expect or want tag related posts, are you indifferent to it, or do you say like... nice the 51st tongue I see today!

I do not mean to sound negative, I am just genuinely interested because I do not understand it. Maybe you can help shed some light to it 😊😊

Btw this is one of my very favorite shots and I have been hiding it for 7 months... just did not know when to post it, so I did today.
