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. Natural lighting is best for your pet. Light through windows is good, or take your pet outside. Using flashes to photograph pets is not the best idea. Not only could the flash scare your them, but it creates red-eye in photos.
2. Position yourself so that you are on the same level as your pet. Lie on the ground or crouch down. This is a good idea because you will appear less intimidating to your pet, while gaining a new appreciation of your surroundings. Your pet will curiously investigate the lens, making for an amusing photo.
3. Take the time to learn about your pet’s personality and unique ways. By knowing more about them, you will have more fun and it will be easier to photograph them.
4. Experiment with different lenses, aperture settings, and shutter speeds. A macro lens will let you get take close-up photos, a wide-angle lens fits more pet in the frame, a smaller aperture blurs the background, and faster shutter speed will catch your pet in motion.
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.
