If you are often asked by most of your clients to shoot their pets or farm animals, it is most probable that you would always thank heavens for the invention of digital cameras and photo editing software.
As all photographers know, photo-shooting for pets and other animals is not as easy as how these animals are seen in the pictures. Very often, we see photos where these animals look relaxed, as if the photos were taken so easily. They appear quite deceiving in pictures as if we’re just looking at them naturally or the shot was taken casually. Well, as a photographer, I know that it is not.
It wasn’t long before I got my first photography job for a client who breeds and sells purebred dogs. Looking at some of the photos that my client wants me to come up with, I thought it was an easy job and won’t take more than an hour. But I was wrong -it was like a dog day for me. Only then I realized that unless I sit, stay, crawl, and rollover, I will never get good pictures that will meet the demands my client. I literally did all those things to capture the most ideal pictures that I can get, and I did! But I also got furs all over my pants and shirt.
So, I hope this may serve as a precaution to those who have never had worked with animals yet – Beware of dogs!
