How to take good-looking photos of dogs?

The development of the pet industry has not only promoted the pet-related projects, but also had a considerable impact on other industries. For example, pet photography has gradually become popular recently. Some clothing merchants even changed their models into dogs, and this bold attempt has achieved considerable success. But taking pictures of dogs is not easy. After all, it is impossible for them to cooperate with us for a long time, and it is even more difficult for them to pose as we want.

But taking pictures of dogs is not easy. After all, it is impossible for them to cooperate with us for a long time, and it is even more difficult for them to pose as we want.

Many pet owners like to take pictures of their pets, but the current shortage of pet photographers has made this industry popular. Due to the scarcity of personnel, all relative prices will be higher. Perhaps most people don't have a clear idea of the cost of taking pictures of dogs, so let's explain.

We all know that dogs can't cooperate with photographers like us, so there will be a lot of trouble in the process of shooting. Photographers should not only know their habits and thoughts, but also know the characteristics and temperament of each dog breed, such as the fierceness of Alaska, the handsomeness of golden retriever and the cuteness of Teddy, all of which require them to pay considerable patience. There are usually two elements in taking a good picture of a dog. The first is "grasping" and the second is "waiting". The so-called grab and wait is to wait for interesting moments such as yawning and sticking out your tongue, and immediately grab the picture. If the dog wants to cooperate with photography, it is best to bring the toys that the dog usually likes to play when shooting to attract their attention. When they really don't cooperate, the photographer can only run around with it, and sometimes even roll back and forth on the ground to find the right angle. ? At present, there are not many top pet photographers in China, and their development directions are also different. Some of them pay attention to all kinds of dog races in this country. Owners who take their dogs around and win prizes will buy photos after the races. The demand for a dog race is mostly around 20 -40, and there are two races a week when you are busy.

Relatively speaking, photographers who specialize in taking photos of life don't have to travel all over the country. After the shooting is completed, the customer pays according to the number of photos selected. Some photographers charge 100 yuan per day-about 200 yuan. No matter what development route, the monthly income of photographers who do well is above 10000 yuan, and the price of a single photo is around 150 yuan.

According to the needs of pet owners or kennels, they select high-quality products from a large number of photos and make exquisite photo albums, scroll paintings, Yi Labao and other promotional materials through graphic design. This part of the income is often comparable to the shooting cost.

I believe that the owner who takes photos of dogs knows that it is not easy to take good-looking photos of dogs, and sometimes it takes quite a long time to get a good expression. Once the dog loses interest in this job, the difficulty of shooting will greatly increase. Therefore, a professional pet photographer is not a simple job. They need to have a certain understanding of the dog's habits and have a good grasp of the capture time. If they want to take some good photos, they may need to make various actions such as lying, lying and rolling during shooting, so it is quite hard, so it is understandable that the price of taking photo photos of dogs is high.
