How to take pictures of your dogs
Custom Pet Canvas is your destination for all things pet-related. As much as we love our dogs, there is no way to capture them in a photograph truly. Sure, you can try to make your dog's face match the shape of a rectangle or frame their image with an unnatural border. But these methods will never produce the satisfying result that you crave. To capture the essence of your dog, you will have to become a master of photography.
Here are several methods on how to take pictures of your dogs.
1. Get good lighting.
Tall trees, sunny days, and overcast clouds help capture the essence of a dog's personality. Tall trees are good for hiding your dog's bad photos and provide privacy when taking candid shots. If you can get a picture in front of a tall tree or sunlight or your dog looks like a silhouette, go for it! If the tree is too tall, try to find an opening behind the tree so that the photographer can see you.
2. Use as little of your dog as possible in the photo.
You can take a series of still photos using different camera settings until you get the image you want. For example, if you want your dog to look cute, use a slow shutter speed. Use a fast shutter speed if you want the dog to look rugged and muscular. If you are going for an action shot that will make people laugh or gasp in awe, then increase the ISO setting so that your phone takes videos and photos at high speeds.
3. Convince your dog to pose as if they stay still while "talking".
Every photographer has ways of convincing animals to do what they want while they remain still. You can ask your dog to stay or sit and talk to them. The dog may even pretend to be listening to what you are saying. You can also use treats as bribes and reward your dog with a pat on the head if they follow your instructions.
4. Use a good camera or a high-quality cell phone.
If you have a good camera or a high-quality cell phone, you can take better pictures of your dog. A great way to get clear photos with little or no background is by placing your dog in front of a green screen and filtering the photo, so the background looks black. You can also use an app that is designed for this purpose.
In conclusion, it is more important to take good pictures of your dog than it is to take great ones. Good photos will allow people to form a clear image in their minds of what your dog looks like, even if they have never seen it before.
