5 Tips for Taking Better Photos of Your Animal Friends
How to capture the spirit (and the fuzz) of your pets even if you’re not an expert photographer
Two of my greatest loves are photography and my dog, so exploring pet photography as been fun. I have done some more professional-looking shoots with companion animals, but I also love capturing everyday funny moments on my phone. Whether you’re looking to do a full portrait session or just get a bit better at capturing your pet’s personality for Instagram, these tips will help!
1. Have patience! A lot of it.
This is the most important tip to remember when shooting photos of pets, and animals in general. They don’t understand the concept of a “photo shoot,” and most likely will not understand your directives. That’s okay! The best photos will come when they are relaxed and just doing their thing. Be prepared to spend time taking a lot of photos because it will probably take you a while to get the perfect one.
