By William Jones


Every home in this present day has a pet either a cat, dog, horse, rabbit, snake or any other animal one feels they need to have beside them. They are kept mostly to provide companionship and are treated with kindness and even as part of the family. The same way people feel that they need to have pictures of them either hanging on their walls or their bedside tables so do pet owners hence the need for a pet photographer. Below are some pointers to being a successful pet photographer Alberta;

To begin with, relaxation is key. When being with animals it is important to be very relaxed as anxiety makes them uneasy and we also want them at peace so as to take a good picture. Always make sure you are settled and at peace so that it relates to you properly.

Secondly, you should remove all items that may make the pet distracted. Make sure that the items that may make the picture look unsightly or take the attention of the creature are removed. Adding items that also add the beauty of the background can also aid in getting amazing pictures. Always ensure that the background is neatly arranged so as to enhance the beauty of your picture.

Focusing on the eyes and expressions of the face gives a better image. Animals too like humans show their true self through their eyes and face. It is important to be very observant so as not to miss any expression made and give attention to the eyes as they always show the attractiveness of the creature.

Take the image from where the animal usually stays. You should not take them away from the environment that they are used to as it can make them uneasy making them hide their true self. If it has a specific spot where it likes staying, take the shot from there thus you should be willing to be part of their routine.

Patience and flexibility also add to the success of great photography. Animals will always be on the move and as the cameraman, you will be forced to follow their movements, for example, if they bend you may be forced to bend with them. It is important to be very patient with these changes and also flexible enough to change when the situation changes like when a shoot is inside but the pet decides to remain outside.

You should treat this creature like you would treat a human model. You should make payments to them and always motivate them to engage in the picture session if you do not want them to wander. Every animal has its desires for example for dogs they just want to feel love, for horses its carrots, rewarding them makes them more receptive to you enabling you to get amazing photos.

Lastly, you should have a list of the type of pictures you would like to take. This list includes all the moments you want to grasp of the creature engaging in. This usually makes the picture session easier because you will be knowing exactly what to look out for.
