How to Photograph Pets
You’ve been wanting to take stunning photos of your pet, but have not figured out how to get started. You have stumbled upon this article because you don’t want to end up with plain, boring photos of your pet. Not to worry, these tips will get you taking awesome pet photos.
1. The best lighting for your pet is natural light. Window light is great, or if you can, take your pet outside. Unfortunately flash photography is not that great for pets. The flash may scare them, and it also makes them have red eyes in photographs.
2. Get on the same level as your pet. Bend down or lie on the ground. This not only gives you a different perspective, but you will appear less intimidating. It’s always amusing when pets get close to the lens to investigate, creating a great photo opportunity.
3. Learn about your pet’s idiosyncrasies and personality. When you know more about them, you will have more fun and will find them easier to photograph.
4. Try switching out lenses, using different shutter speeds, or different aperture settings. A wide-angle lens lets you fit more pet into your picture, a macro lens lets you get closer, a fast shutter speeds catches your pet in motion, and a smaller aperture creates a blurred background.
5. Be patient. As your photo shoot progresses, your pet will get more comfortable with you and the camera. If you are anxious and uncomfortable, they too will become anxious and uncomfortable, so remember to relax and be calm.
6. Expect the unexpected. You never know when you will get a good shot because pets are unpredictable. Try photographing them with their favorite toy, enjoying a treat, or frolicking in the park.
Don’t forget to have fun! Your furry friend will be looking like a rock start in no time. If you need more ideas, look online or in magazines.
