You got that new pet, and now want to start photographing your furry friend. You won't settle for a regular snap-shot, and are reading this article because you are looking for some inspiration. The following tips will help you to take beautiful photos of your pet.
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. 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. 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. Remember to be patient. At first your pet may be uncomfortable, but as the photo shoot progresses, they will be less shy of the camera. You want to make sure that your pet is not uncomfortable or anxious; if you are calm, they will be calm.
6. Be ready for the unexpected. Pets are unpredictable and a fantastic shot is always waiting around the corner. Photograph them in their element, with their favorite toy, or enjoying their favorite treat.
Have fun with your pet! Now you can display photographs of your furry friend looking like a rock star. Check out pet magazines or photos online for more ideas.
