photography guide

Capturing the perfect snapshot of your pet can be quite the challenge given their perpetual energy!

To assist in creating that special portrait, consider these helpful tips.

  • Opt for good close-up photographs, preferably at a 3/4 angle. Take your pet outdoors with the sun positioned behind the photographer, and don't worry too much about the background.

  • Capture a full side view of your pet by positioning them accordingly, and encourage their alertness with the help of a friend shaking favourite toy or a tempting treat.

  • To capture your pet's direct gaze into the camera, enlist the help of a friend or family member. Have them stand just behind you, extending their arm with a treat or toy positioned slightly to the side of the camera lens. This clever trick will naturally guide your pet's focus straight into the lens, ensuring a captivating and engaging portrait

  • Experiment with various angles, photographing both sides to find your preferred perspective.

  • Remember the stronger the photos, the better the portrait.

Resolution Matters:

  • Provide high-resolution photos for more detailed and lifelike portraits.

Focus on the Eyes:

  • Clear, focused photos of your pet's eyes bring life to the portrait.

  • Natural light enhances the sparkle and details in the eyes.

Multiple Angles and Expressions:

  • Include various photos showcasing different angles and expressions.

  • Capture your pet's playful antics, curious looks, and serene moments.

Background and Lighting:

  • Opt for a simple background to highlight your pet.

  • Use natural light to minimise shadows and glare.

No Filters or Heavy Editing:

  • Submit unfiltered and unedited photos for the most accurate representation.
