How to better photograph animals?

Lead: It is very meaningful to take photos of abandoned animals temporarily staying in the stray cat and dog center to increase their chances of adoption. This is not only important, but also urgent, because countless animals are slaughtered every day because they are no longer loved by their owners. Second Chance Photos, a foreign website, takes this as its responsibility, not only providing professional shooting services, but also educating people to take better photos and increasing the chances of animal rebirth!

How to shoot animals is better? The following is a series of shooting experiences they shared. If you are determined to be such a photographer, it is worth consulting. For example, the picture above refers to patting the dog's smile as much as possible. If it doesn't laugh, take it for a run to create an atmosphere. Remember to put some colorful toys beside it to increase the sense of joy!

When shooting, you should take a big head photo and a full body photo at the same time, so that the adopter can fully understand the animals concerned. The Rothwell dog in the picture above has only three legs, but she has a beautiful heart.

Don't shoot in strong sunlight, but shoot in a sheltered place. Adding natural elements is also welcome.

Eyes can talk, so if you can let animals look at your camera, you can capture some moments that connect them with their adopters.

Don't be miserable, don't be locked in a cage, be positive!

Black dogs are not easy to shoot. You can try to shoot them on cloudy days, so that it is easier to capture their personalities and show their characteristics more creatively.

It was shot in a cage, but through the 50mm 1.8 or 1.4 lens, the background is blurred, so it can't be seen.

Create a more relaxed environment to shoot! The puppy in the picture above is the reception center on the left, and I feel too nervous. Play with it for a while, and you can show its lovely side! Really far from it!

The left and right pictures above were taken in the same location, the same puppy and camera, but the effect was completely different! The left picture is a wide-angle lens, and the right picture is 50mm f/ 1.8, with blurred background.

Cats can laugh!
