Pets aren't easy models-but with these five tips, you can shoot sharp, loving photos that show character.
1. Photograph at eye level
Get down on your knees: eye contact creates intimacy and emotion in your image.
2. Practice and be patient
The more often you shoot, the better your timing. Stay calm to avoid startle reactions and choose a pleasant angle.
3. Keep your camera still
Support your arms, use two hands or lean against a wall to avoid motion blur.
4. Play with light (and timing)
Natural light often works best. Morning, afternoon or "golden hour" gives warm, soft images.
5. Capture the character
Capture quirks: the favorite toy, that endearing look or a typical pose-that will make your photo unique.
Want to be carefree between trips while editing photos later? Simply arrange a dog sitter in your area or cat sitter at home.
