Pet Photography Options & Types
Discover the Types of Pet Photography Available Taken by Professional Pet Photographers.
Having professional photographs taken of yourself and/or with your family and your four-legged companion, who’s become just as much a part of your family, is something that if you don’t do, you may regret. Most of us will have several pets throughout our life and photos are one of the best ways to keep our memory intact, especially in times of grief and as the years march on.
Pet photography has now become so popular there are professional pet photographers specialising in taking portraits of dogs and cats with elaborate studio sets, background canvases and seating with specialised lighting. Most are accommodating to taking photos outside in a park setting, or will come to you, if you wish to capture memories of your pet in your house or garden.
Before the professional shoot, it would be worth paying a visit to the pet groomers, to make sure your dog or cat is looking ‘pawfect’.
Modern Pet Photography Sessions
Indoors, relaxed photos can capture a moment in time that you’ll cherish forever. Casual lounge settings cleverly composed can be constructed or take advantage of spontaneity with expressions that become priceless outdoors.
The emphasis on modern photographs tends towards being casual, with composition and lighting helping to depict a typical scenario you’d like to preserve forever.
Fine Art Pet Photography Portraits
Formal portraits are still very popular with families wanting to include their pet. A photo of the ‘whole’ family, plus individual pics of everyone make for a special wall display when framed.
Remember too, even though we live in a digital world without film, you can have your images printed on canvas and varnished to depict an oil painting taken hundreds of years ago.
Pet Photography Outdoor Portraits
Parks lend themselves to capturing special moments, obviously more so with dogs than cats. Dressing the family up in the casual clothing you would normally wear when taking your dog for a walk, will give you a picture that will anchor so many memories.
Cats can of course still be photographed outside, but most often in a more controlled and familiar area such as the back garden.
Fantasy Pet Photography Using Photoshop
Taking advantage of Generative AI, Photoshop offers creative professionals the ability to create an image not available to conventional photographers. Often several photographs are used in multiple layers to create the final work.
Limited only by your imagination, you can have photos created depicting your pet with interests you have or encapsulate your pet’s personality with a surreal image.
Summary of Pet Photography Sessions & Services
There are special times in our life worth recording. In fact, photos and family portraits are regarded as so special, people fleeing their burning home grab the portrait off the wall and the photo album, after making sure all humans are safe of course because everything else can be replaced.
While phone cameras do take high-definition images, if we want to be in the photo, someone else needs to take the pic. With memories so special it’s worth considering using the experience only a professional photographer has with knowledge of lighting and composition.
Pet photography across Australia is available with many professional pet photographers listed on Pet Directory offering a studio environment, willing to come to your home or take photos of you, your family and pet dog or cat outdoors in a park setting.
As mentioned above, to have your pet looking their absolute best, consider booking a session with your local pet groomers before professional photos are taken.
