Here are some tips for photographing animals:

 

• take photos outside or somewhere with good indoor lighting (ideally with diffused daylight falling from the side of the window);

 

• do not use flash to avoid strong color distortion of the animal in the photo;

 

• photograph your pet from their eye level to avoid perspective distortion. You can squat down to take pictures of them, or put them on the sofa or on the table/chair;

 

• since animals are often quite active, you may need help of a second person in order to distract the pet and hold it in a certain position for a little longer;

 

• and of course, take or choose photos where your pet will look like you love it most.
