10 Things I Learned At A Dog Photography Conference.
10 THINGS I LEARNED AT A DOG PHOTOGRAPHY CONFERENCE
1-Shoot with the sun at your back. This allows the dogs eyes to catch the sun, decreases unpleasant shadows and cuts down on editing time.
2-The time of day that you decide to shoot will make or break you. Always go for the golden hour and don’t compromise.
3-Photo shoots, cameras and lights stress dogs out, let them direct the shoot. We are just here to capture their moment.
4-Don’t allow dog owners to run the shoot. Instruct them ahead of time on what your expectations are.
5-Some of the most experienced pet photographers shoot with a very simple set up. It’s about the subject matter not the equipment.
6-Don’t greet the dog right away. Let them explore the surroundings, smells and equipment and approach you in their own time.
7-When making funny noises for the almighty head tilt, start quietly and increase volume if that doesn’t work. Once you find something that does work, don’t use it and dont use it until you’re ready to shoot.
8-Get camera angle, light and camera settings established before situating the dog where you want them.
9- Always make time for education and honing your skills as a photographer. And be open to feedback from people that know about your craft and genre.
10-Scout locations for photo shoots ahead of time. This will get your creative juices flowing and allow you to create a schedule for your shoot to maximize natural lighting.
