We all know that our pets can be very unpredictable and don’t always follow our artistic direction when it comes to posing! That’s why it is important to be patient when taking photographs of your beloved. Get yourself comfy, set up your composition on your camera or phone, and wait for them to come to you. A treat or two may come in handy!
In our opinion, our favourite pet portraits are those with the eyes in focus. It can tell us how an animal is truly feeling and whether they are enjoying being in front of the camera. Use the focus system on your camera or phone to ensure the eye is sharp – preferably go for the one that is in the sunlight.
One of the best things you can do is get right down on your pet’s level. They will trust you more, however, will probably think you are inviting them to lick your face! You’ll instantly make your photo more appealing and feel more personal, and it’s a great way to capture your pet’s true personality.
