Is it always easy to capture the dog’s “golden eye” when taking photos of dogs? If you don't control the light well, it can easily cause red eyes and blind everyone. So what do professional photographers do to make the effects of dog eyes so dreamy and blurry? Let me tell you.

The easiest way to take a picture of the white light spots in a dog's eyes is to guide the dog to face a window or door at home during the day, and let the sunlight from outside form like a light through the door and window. The luminous body is larger and more natural. The owner squats under the door and window, attracts the dog's attention with the dog's favorite snacks or balls, waits for the dog's eyes to meet, and immediately presses the shutter button, wow! It’s easy to take a super crystal eye photo! !

What to do when there is no sunshine? At this time, you need to use the active manufacturing method. Look for white-cover magazines and large white plates that you can get at hand. As long as they are large-area white objects, place them close to the left and right sides of the dog's eyes. Because of the reflective principle, they can also be made. The photographer's favorite way to create a sparkling white crystal eye is to simply wear a white T-shirt. The photographer's huge body becomes a large white reflector.

Of course, in professional pet photography, photographers will use tools such as large soft light shades, large silver/gold reflectors, large pearl boards, etc. to capture the pet's "crystal eyes", but on the one hand It is necessary to buy many Guisensen tools, both of which also require the assistance of assistants, which is too time-consuming and costly for ordinary pet owners. Therefore, in the process of teaching pet photography, the photographer came up with the above method. Although the effect is not as good as professional tools, it is more expensive. It's simple and can be taken at any time. I hope everyone can take pictures of super cute pet "crystal eyes"!
