<\/a><\/p>\n1 \u00a0Use the right settings<\/strong><\/h2>\nShutter Speed
\nAn animal is an unpredictable being, it will have difficulties focusing in front of your camera, this is why you should use the speed priority mode.<\/p>\n
Tune up
\nIt\u2019s very likely that your little monster is in perpetual motion, to have the best chances of getting a sharp image, focus on the quality of the tune up.<\/p>\n
Burst mode
\nYou should think to set burst mode to not miss the best picture! Be careful though burst mode you tend to take too many pictures, so try to constantly sort your images up.<\/p>\n
Light metering – Exposure compensation
\nWatch your shooting according to the decor and the color(s) of your pet there will be some adjustments to carry out:<\/p>\n
If you fill the whole image with the hairs of your black\/white cat, your camera will tend to over\/under expose the image because too many white\/black in the image. To correct that, you just have to apply a manual exposure compensation.
\nDitto for the measurement of light, if your background is clear and your pet has dark hair you will change the metering mode.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n2 \u00a0Make the focus on the eyes<\/strong><\/h2>\nThis advice applies to portraits but also applicable to animal photography. Always make your focus on the eyes of your model.
\nThis advice is especially true if you are using a large aperture, if you have an opening of 1.4 and if your focus is made on the nose you may have blurred the eyes of your pet!<\/p>\n
The secret of a beautiful animal picture (and also classic portrait) is the importance given to the eyes! We are always naturally attract by the eyes, which is why it should be given much importance.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n3 \u00a0Prepare your photo shoot<\/strong><\/h2>\nAn animal has rarely the patience to stay motionless while you are taking photos, he will be continually distracted and attracted by its environment. This is why it is important to plan most of your session by providing:
\nThe different images you would have (compositions of ideas to use)
\nThe different places where you want to take a picture
\nThe different focal lengths you will use (50mm wide angle …)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n4 \u00a0Use props<\/strong><\/h2>\nTo put your pet at ease do not hesitate to use some accessories he loves.
\nWhether a ball, a stuffed toy or even kibble, use it as a reward for his work and concentration (because it’s worth it\u2026)<\/p>\n
You can also put music if he (or she) is receptive!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n5 \u00a0The importance of light<\/strong><\/h2>\nLight is an essential element in photography; for the best possible images of your little bundle of joy I recommend:<\/p>\n
Use of natural sunlight
\nIf possible through a large bay window or a soft light of late afternoon
\nAvoid maximum flashes that disturb the animal (and can alter the natural color of its coat!)
\nUse white walls as reflectors
\nAvoid the light that comes front or behind it, prefer a light from one side<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n6 \u00a0Be on the alert<\/strong><\/h2>\nIt is impossible to predict the reactions of an animal, so you will need patience to take the best photos of your pet.
\nTry to put it in the best conditions to make beautiful pictures, and stay discreet.<\/p>\n
Become a kind of “paparazzi” to capture interesting moments. If he constantly sees your device, he will probably do not have a natural behavior, then hide it discreetly and shoot quickly.<\/p>\n
Feel free to use zoom to be able to put some distance.<\/p>\n
