With Smartphone in every hand, capturing photos
of pets has become a hobby for many. However, for
high quality pet photographs, you not only need a
good professional camera, but also proper skills.
High level of pet photography is a bit difficult,
so here are the top 10 tips by Sam Crawford that
will prove helpful for you.

1. To begin with, first relax! You need to clear
your mind from other affairs and concentrate on
your project and doing this important. Take some
deep breaths and hang out with your pet to find
out the type of pictures you want to click. Stay
focused on the current moment as pets often do
something surprising at any minute.

2. Go through the Basics! Before doing anything
else, you can go through a photography book that
gives details about pet photography. Youll
become frustrated soon, if you dont know the
basics of capturing pets images.

3. The shade velocity should be no less than
1/250 of a second or quicker. (Read the manual to
figure out how to do that) You need fresh, clean
pictures with no signs of blurring. If youre
utilising a point to shoot, then simply put the
speed dial on.

4. Find A Good Background! Ugly backgrounds
simply ruin pet photos than anything else, except
bad exposure, so look at it and move your pet to
another area if the background has a garage, a
dirty wall or a garbage bin.

5. Move In Close! Ensure that you move in near to
make the viewer feel of being in that spot. This
will likewise trim out the background issue,
which you can't wipe out.

• 6. Continuously concentrate on the eyes! Unless
  youve a horse as a pet, you have to get down
  sufficiently low to capture pictures of your pet
  at eye level. If youre capturing images of a cat
  or dog, then lie down on the floor and utilise
  your elbows to get the camera up to your eye.

• 7. Try To Keep Everything Simple! Focus on
  catching one thing and one thing only. First
  decide, whether you want to capture a photo of
  your dog your room or just your dog? Choose! It
  is typically difficult to catch two thoughts in
  one photograph.

• 8. Evade Harsh Light! Are you planning to shoot
  outdoors at noon on a sunny day? Wrong decision!
  Theres no doubt that sun helps to capture some
  of the most mesmerising pictures, but the
  situation is not the same when it comes to pet
  photography. Capture images either in the early
  morning or in the evening, when the harshness of
  the sun reduces. Cloudy days are also considered
  ideal for pet photography.

• 9. Props Can Be Used! Use props to catch
  astonishing expressions. Use a toy, a whistle or
  a bright colour cloth. Be prepared! Props just
  work until the pet becomes bored and exhausted,
  so you need to capture images immediately.

• 10. Have A Good Idea About Flash Range! Remember
  the flash range of your camera and stay inside
  the range to click images that arent too dark or
  too bright.

13

• Bonus Tip Patience! Its the key when it comes
  to photography, especially when youre doing pet
  photography. Sam Crawford, an expert photographer
  says that you never know whats store in the
  future, so you have to be always ready and have
  lots of patience to capture photographs of
  animals.
