A good example
of a close up photo.

Tips
for photographing your pet: |
- Try
to use natural lighting by photographing your pet outside,
avoid direct sunlight; a bright overcast day is the best.
|
- Never
use flash, this does not capture the true coloring of your
pet and causes
"red-eye."
|
- The
camera should always be lowered to the eye level of your
pet.
|
- Take
at least one close up photo of your pet's face, so that
when you focus your pet's face fills up the camera view
finder.
|
- Employ
the help of a friend to stand behind you with a toy or make
noises to capture a great expression.
|
- If
you are having trouble keeping your pet still for the photo,
you can have someone hold your pet or restrict them using
a leash. I can omit objects from the photo (i.e. hands and
leashes) from the portrait.
