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. Photograph your pet in natural light. Either use light coming in from the window, or take them outside. Flash photography and animals do not go well together. The flash could scare your pet, and it also causes red-eye.
2. Put yourself on the same level as your pet. You can either lie down or crouch. You will appear less intimidating, and you will also get a different perspective of your surroundings. Many times pets will investigate your camera, making for a very cute 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. Don't forget to be patient. In the beginning, your pet may be camera shy, but they will get more comfortable as the photo shoot progresses. Remember that your pet will sense if you are anxious and uncomfortable, so be calm and relaxed.
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.
