Photography Tips
A good photograph of your pet is all that is required to create a great
pet portrait that you will love and cherish for many years to come. Extra
photos are also suggested as these can serve as a reference for coloring,
close-up details, and personality. The higher resolution, the better
image detail.
- When taking photos of your pet, be patience! It will take some time.
- Ask a friend to hold some treats or a toy to keep the dog focus and
look at the camera.
- Find a location with a simple background.
- Make sure there's contrast between the background and the animal.
This will help me to see your pet more clearly.
- Use natural lighting when possible.
- Use flash if your dog has dark or black fur.
