Photographic tips
Here are some animal photographic tips
If you can, try to take your photos outside in natural light.
Get someone to help you so you can take the photo. Your animal’s favourite toy, treat,
or maybe a rustling bag may be useful to get an attentive or interested expression.
If you require a full body portrait please make sure that your pets lower limbs and
paws are not concealed by any objects. If they are, please supply additional photos
so that Louise can see their markings.
Choose the highest resolution that your camera is capable of. If you scan a photo
onto your computer, please scan at the highest dpi.
A cloudy day with strong light provides the ideal conditions for taking the best
animal photos.
For a traditional portrait, kneel down to take the photo of your pet on the same
level. Try lowering your angle to look up at your pet.
Avoid flash it can create a glassy stare.
Avoid direct sunlight. It’s great to show a shiny coat but it can cause your lovely
animal to squint or close their eyes.
Avoid shooting down on your dog or cat. It sometimes causes camera distortion and
body proportions look strange.
If you like the look, Louise is happy to do you a Modern Pet Portrait that will make you smile.
