How does everyone seem to get better pictures of their pet than you? Pet photographer Lisa Holloway has shared tips for taking great photos of your dog. First, get down to their eye level to capture their personality, not their back. Use natural light, like soft morning or evening sunlight, and avoid harsh midday sun to make their fur and eyes pop. Pick a simple background, like a park or plain wall, to keep the focus on your dog. Get their attention with treats, toys, or funny noises, but don’t stress them out; let them relax to show their true self.
Holloway suggests using burst mode on your phone or camera to catch quick moments, like a head tilt or jump. For editing, she recommends apps like Snapseed to tweak brightness and colors lightly. Practice patience, keep sessions short, and have fun to get that perfect shot that shows your dog’s unique charm.
