We love our sweet four-legged friends, but taking good pictures can be quite a challenge! From what angle do you shoot the best pictures? Why are the images blurred? Which light should I use?
All questions that probably go through your mind when photographing your little eye. After all, pets are not the easiest models for a good photo. They are agile and sometimes startled by the camera or your phone. Fortunately, with these 5 simple tips, you don't have to worry. In no time (okay, maybe with a little patience...) you will be taking beautiful photos of your pet.
Did you succeed? Then share the beautiful photo or photos with us and don't forget to tag Petbnb. We will share the most beautiful and fun snapshots on our socials. Good luck and above all, have fun!
Want to really connect with your pet through the lens? Then photograph at eye level! This way of photographing gives a very intimate and warm effect. They also say; "eyes are the mirrors of the soul." Through the eyes of your pet you can see if they are happy, sad or (un)guilty. As a pet owner, you probably recognize the "guilty look" when your pet has eaten all the cookies or grazed a toilet roll.... How nice it would be if you could capture this look in a photo!
Are you not a very good photographer by nature, but would like a great photo of your pet? Practice makes perfect! The more often you photograph your pet, the better you will become at it. Make sure you stay calm to avoid a startle reaction and choose the right angle. As you can see in the photo, it's fun to play with certain angles. For example, if you put the paw in the foreground, you get a very funny effect. You can try this with all kinds of angles. In addition, it is very important to hold your camera or phone still so that you do not get a blurred image.
Photography literally means "writing with light. So you can imagine that making good use of light is a hugely important element in taking a great photograph. At night you take very different pictures than during the day, and natural light usually provides the most beautiful effect. One thing is certain, and that is that taking photos in bright sunlight in the middle of the day is not ideal. Morning and afternoon light can produce beautiful photos. Also, shooting during golden hour is the perfect time for a beautiful photo with a warm effect.
Your pet is bound to have a character of its own. Is your dog very stubborn? Or is your cat very affectionate? Animals, like people, have their own habits and this is precisely what makes them so fun and quirky. If you manage to capture their habits in a picture, you will always remember your pet based on their sweet, funny or quirky character. And what makes a photo better than a reflection of a personality?
Patience is a virtue and especially with animals! Animals move around a lot. Unless your pet is a couch potato, of course. Try to stay calm, make good use of the light, keep your camera or phone steady and shoot many pictures from different angles. And... don't forget the most important element; have fun. Before you know it, you will have a fantastic photo of your four-legged friend on the wall. Click away!
