How To Photograph Your Pet
Guidelines To Follow To Get The Best Result From Your Photograph
When it comes to photographing your pet to make the best possible painting, here are a few easy to follow guidelines.
1. More is better. If you have an assortment of pictures, send them all. My paintings are not a copy of a photograph. I want to get to know your little buddy. The multiple shot burst setting on your phone works really well for me. Dogs don’t sit still and pose, so we need many shots to choose
from.
2. Turn off the flash. Natural light is best. If you have an indoor cat, use the light of a window and a tripod or rest your elbows on something stable. Which brings me to #3:
3. Take the photos outside if at all possible. Get a few where pooch isn’t looking into the sun. Squinting is just as unflattering to them as it is to us. If she’s squinting in a few, it’s okay, take some on an overcast day.
4. Stand so the light is coming from one side or the other.
5. Get in close. Stand face to face with Scruffy.
6. Kneel or lie on the ground. Or they can be standing on the bed or on a table. If
the picture is inside, have your animal near a window.
7. Standing on a counter with sunlight coming in might be a good choice. Smartphone photos are fine.
8. Still not comfortable? I’d be happy to photograph your pet. I do charge an additional fee for a sitting.
