Successful Pet Portrait Photography

 You can capture wonderful pictures of wild animals just by zooming in and taking a portrait. Similar to the portrait of a person, you want the animal to be in sharp focus, against a background that is out of focus, and does not compete with your subject.

Creating a pet portrait requires patience and practice, just like any other form of photography. A growing number of owners are interested in displaying professional pictures of their pets, and they are willing to pay a premium for high-quality images.



So whether you are looking for your pet photoshoot in the beautiful outdoors, an indoor session in your cozy home, or a studio-style session, we are happy to accommodate you! As a professional dog portrait photographer, we aim to provide you with variety in pet portrait photography in Singapore and create the most personal piece of artwork you will ever own.

Pet Photography Singapore - Common Mistakes and How To Avoid Them

SQUINTING

Many animals have very sensitive eyes. So the strobe lights might trouble them. They might even get startled or agitated by them. Go with natural light if possible. Perhaps the best way is to up your kit of natural light tools. A reflector set can help you out in several ways. They come in silver, gold, and white colors, so you can pick the quality of light that best matches your subject. They are also useful for creating a catch light in the subject’s eyes.

BLURRY SNOUTS

Blurry shots are going to come from two things during a pet shoot. The first is from the usage of shallow depths of fields. The eyes must be in sharp focus and sometimes a little bit of blur on the nose can look awkward. If you are using a wide aperture, just move back a bit so as to get the face in focus. And the second problem is shooting with too slow a shutter speed. Animals move too quickly and this results in a frequent change of their pose. Constant movement means you can boost the shutter speed to 1/250th second or higher.

LIGHTING & COLOR PROBLEMS

One of the most common problems when shooting with animals is the difficulty in overcoming natural light. Animals are low to the ground and their fur often picks up color casts from the ground and environment. If you are shooting in raw format these problems can be easily fixed post-production.Most photos, especially RAW files, will help you recover a lot of detail from underexposed areas. But blown highlights are lost for good.
