Purple and Paws Displaying and sharing pictures of our dogs is something most pet owners love to do. But capturing a good picture of your fur baby can be tough. Dogs don’t want to pose and they don’t care if the lighting’s great or the background is fantastic. So how can you capture a great portrait of Fido to keep forever? Keep reading for tips on taking good pictures of your dog.
Use Treats or Toys
Grab your dog’s favorite treat or toy to get the focus you need.
Use Natural Light
Natural light is your friend and your dog’s friend. Take pictures by a window or door for pro photographer results.
Go Outside
Even better than using natural light indoors is going outside. Pose your pooch in the park, by the sea, or next to some flowers.
Have a Helper
A partner-in-crime can come in handy, especially when you’re trying to take a picture of your dog outside with lots of distractions.
Use Your Imagination
You don’t always have to pose your dog with her favorite toy or sitting in her bed. Lie down on the floor and take pictures of her at eye level. Stand on a ladder and point the camera down. Stand across the room and call him to get an action shot as he’s running to you.
Keep Trying
Photographing your dog can be a frustrating experience. You may take fifty shots and not one turns out good. The most important thing is to keep clicking away and soon you’ll have that great shot you’ve been waiting for.
Yes, taking pictures of our pooches can be tough but with these tips, you’ll be printing photos and racking up the likes on social media in no time!
