Pet Photo Guide Hopefully you already have a picture of your pet and that is up close and sharp. Both are important. If you don’t have such a photo, you will need to take one or have someone take one for you. Actually, if you are starting from scratch, you can do so with some important things in mind. Most important is that the picture is in focus (sharp) and that the colors are true. Also, it is best if your pet takes up all or most of the frame. For headshots (recommended), get up close or use a telephoto lens. It’s also important that you are not looking down at your subject. Be on the same level as your pet, just as you would with a person. You may have to lie or sit on the ground to achieve this. Also, plenty of light is important to get true color and detail, so it is best to take the pictures outdoors if possible. If not be sure to use a flash. Lastly, try to capture the expression that makes your pet unique. It may take patience, some help from a friend and quite a few shots to get one that is just right, but it will all be worth it when you hang your portrait on the wall |
