And back from a short break. Had an amazing weekend of back-to-back photo sessions in a volunteer capacity so it was great.
Anyway, here are some in studio dog photos. As always, the first step with pets is to be patient. They don’t know what a camera is and they probably have no idea what a picture is, all they know is that they want to make you happy and they just don’t know how, so be patient and try to return the favor by trying to make them happy and trying to keep your photo session good for them.
And in the case of these photos, it wasn’t hard at all. This was a very quick photo session. I brought her on set, let her look around and then took off set and let her be. Sometimes that it all you need to do.
One thing I do recommend knowing before you even start the photo session is if the pet is afraid of lightening. Lightning, no thunder, one is seen with the eyes, and one is heard. If you know the pet is afraid of lightning, then you may want to skip the flash. In the case of my dog, she isn’t afraid of lightning, so a 3 light setup was fine.
Finally, try and focus on the eyes.
