Taking beautiful photos of your furry friend can be a challenge, but don't worry. We at Charlie & Jones are here to help with some tips so you too can capture the perfect snapshot of your four-legged companion!
The golden rule
When photographing your pet, always use natural light and avoid using the flash. When you head out with your camera, the morning and evening hours are ideal for taking a good photo because the light is at its best during these times! Especially in the summer, when the sun is high in the sky, you have plenty of daylight to take photos. However, it's not advisable to photograph in bright sunlight, as this creates harsh shadows and can quickly overexpose your photo. The best natural light is when the sun is lower, providing natural lighting with soft shadows that give your photos more depth.
Create the Right Setting
When photographing your loyal pet, the location is crucial for creating that perfect photo, so think carefully about where you want to take the picture. You want your furry friend to stand out. Choose a calm background without unnecessary distractions so your dog is the focal point. Remember that the star of the show is your furry friend, so minimize distractions and focus on what truly matters: your dog's charm.
A real eye-catcher
For the perfect photo of your dog, you naturally want their beautiful, loyal eyes to be perfectly captured. Make sure the eyes are clear and sharp in the photo. The sparkle in your dog's eyes immediately draws attention, and you want to give it a prominent role in your photo. Those loyal eyes tell a story and add extra shine to every photo!
