Taking Funny Pet Pictures


What pet owner doesn't have a picture of their beloved friend in some crazy situation or pose, stuck on their refrigerator door? I photograph pets professionally, intentionally trying to create humorous images...But often it is the in-between moments that end with those priceless expressions. Put a box down and a moment later, out of nowhere...Patsy is in the box! It doesn't matter what size box either...I have seen her in boxes that she can barely fit in... Every pet is an endless source of amusement, fun and laughter!
 A few tips for good Pet Photography:
1. Avoid direct sunlight. Opening shade is good...If indoors tried shooting them next to a large window that has indirect light coming in.
2. Make sure your pet's eyes are in focus. Take a moment to look around the viewfinder and place your pet in an interesting composition...Without distractions in the background.
3. Patience! The number one ingredient for great pet photography is patience. A little patience, combined with perseverance is a great combination for success in getting those great shots of your best friend
