The genuine objective of dog photography, like any kind of photography for that matter, is to freeze time to seize those treasured occasions in a dog’s life forever. When you’re taking pictures of your dog, keep in mind that canines are full of energy. They’re so full of it that they can be considered as “experts” in manner like they can read it, give it off, and even detect the most subtle changes in it.

This means, if you, the photographer, is stressing out, your dog can feel the vibe as well and be stressed, too. However, if you’re relaxed, he’s going to mirror your calm vibe as well. When you’re doing dog photography, get yourself into a relaxed mind-set and be there until the photo session is done. If you get all wild, hyper, strenuous or irritated, you can count on your dog to do exactly the same.

Ever observe how those TV programs regarding boosting pet actions commence with a video of people showing a dog’s terrible conduct as they shout at the dog in vain, and then the professional comes to the rescue, and instantly, the dog is fetching, sitting, and staying? It isn’t miracle. What it is energy. And to achieve success with your dog photography, your own vibe has to be positive.
Various canines react in different ways, so it’s your responsibility to act on a doggie level. Basically, a Gentle Giant may not mind you giving him a solid pat on the back as a welcome greet, while a tiny Chihuahua most likely won’t be happy with you solidly patting him.
Dogs Can’t Fake It!
Bear in mind that dogs, unlike human models, can’t really fake it. It’s the case of “what you see is what you get.” Of course, you can tell your dog to “stay,” however, you can’t inform him to “tilt your head to the right and your tail to the left.” If you really want gorgeous dog photography of your pooch, you simply have to follow him around with your camera until he spontaneously give you his own “picture perfect moment.”
