I already torture my dogs with picture-taking, but anything to help take better pictures will be welcomed!
I just recently got more into photography and bought myself a new camera. This book would be the perfect addition
I love having the photos of my Maine Coons much more than they like me to take them! Maybe I can learn some tips.
Great giveaway! I love pet pictures! I take pictures of my dog on a daily basis. I regret not having more of my first dog, so I’m taking as many as I can. He hates it. haha
would love to get my hands on a book like this as ive got a little too many pets as people tell me but there all like my children. i have photos of them up every where.so this book would really help me take alot better pictures of them in the future.
My son and I could use this – he always wants to take pictures of our dog but we often end up with weird glare from her eyes that messes it up.
I always try and get a good shot of my dog – this book could maybe help that – well…at least it couldnt hurt ! Thanks !
Lately, I’ve been addicted to ArtsCow to put my little guys pictures on any and every household object.
I’d love to give this as a gift to my dad! He’s been taking photography classes, and he’s using the pets as his subjects for most of his projects
Im hoping to win this and take pictures of my new puppy dog – im not sure if he is rooting for me though…Thanks!
I would love to win this. I am always trying to take pictures of my cats, but they just don’t like to cooperate.

Photography has always been a hobby of mine, and my poor pets have had to endure being subjects because they are just so darn convenient. I’m sure I can learn a lot from this book. Thank you for the chance to win.
I would love to win this. I have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi that I would like to take better photos of, mine leaves a lot to be desired.
Hope to win, we could use the help! Our dog is a golden/chow mix and we can’t seem to do her justice in photos.
I enjoy taking pictures of our puppies to ‘capture the moment’ and this would be a chance to learn how make those moments even more special!
I’m an amateur photographer and this book would really help me out! Not to mention, I bet its got some fabulous pictures of fur babies in it too! hehe
Pets are difficult to photograph. I would Love to learn the tricks that make it easier. Wish I had more pictures of my sweet cockapoo who has been gone for almost a year now; I miss her.
This is very sad to admit…but 80% of the pictures my husband and I take are of our two cats (Cakes & Sprinkles). It sure would be nice to have some tips to take better photos of them. Thanks for the chance!
My sister is starting her own photography business, and she wants to focus on pets, I’d love this for her.
I could use this. I have the cutest cat but she is dark gray and even when I can get her to stay still, she always seems to blend in to the background.
This sounds like a wonderful book and would e elpfl taking pictures of my doxies.

What a great idea for a book!
I’m an amateur photographer but I struggle taking pics of my dog. She is a border collie/black lab mix and is pure black and has a great shiny coat. BUT! her pics never look good because the pictures show no definition of her cause she is so black and if there is light on her (flash-wise)it just bounces off of her.
