Pet Photography
You are in a studio, working with one or two professional photographers. They are about to shoot, but hey, you’re not the one in front of the camera! These days you are not the only star. It’s time to hand over the spotlight to your beloved pet.
Why Pet Owners Are Crazy over Animal Photos
Pets nowadays are not just mere home companions. They can be your best buddies while you are taking a walk, when you are shopping in the mall, when you need someone to be there for you by your bedside, or when you just don’t want to feel alone. In other words, pets are becoming more like humans. It is no wonder that they’re slowly imitating the kind of world we live in. The introduction of dog fashion brought several designs of dog clothing to match our own. Now with the launch of pet photography, dogs can also have their professional portraits hanging on the wall with our’s.
There are several reasons why you would want to have your animal’s picture taken:
1. Something special to keep forever. Whether you like it or not, pets don’t have a very long life span. By the time your dog is 13 years old, it’s already quite old and could be suffering from different forms of illnesses. A photograph will be a good reminder of the memories you spent together.
2. It’s a way of making him part of your family. You would never feel like you belong to a family until you can see your picture together with those of your parents and siblings on the wall. It’s the same thing with dogs. He may never understand it, but adding him among the roster of family pictures will signify that he’s well accepted and is going to be treated like any family member—with love and care.
3. Send Imagery to your Friends. For Christmas this year why not do away with the usual falling snow scene by changing it with a photo of your dog on a greeting card, wearing a silver bell around his neck. It will look unique, festive, but also highly creative.
How to Have His Photo Taken
You certainly have the capability of taking pictures of your pet on your own, but it’s not always easy, especially when you don’t have the right techniques. That’s why it’s highly recommended that you look for a professional pet photographer. The photographer won’t only have the best equipment, but is also well experienced in dealing with almost all kinds of animals.
You can, however, help make his job a lot easier. First you may want to warm up your dog to make him more alert and enthusiastic during the shoot. A 10-minute jog will definitely do. A toy and a treat will also keep your pet focused and entertained.
