We recently got a chance to check out a great new book called Pet Photography 101: Tips for taking better photos of your dog or cat
The tips offer advice on how to set up shots, and even tips on using digital software for retouching, tips on storage, and many fun ideas for photos as well. Darlow presents the information in a simple, straightforward manner that is helpful for photographers of any skill level. And of course, there are plenty of fun photos of cats and dogs in the book as well!
We have a copy of Pet Photography 101: Tips for taking better photos of your dog or cat
Darlow is also a judge in the Humane Society’s annual photography contest the Spay Day Online Pet Photo Contest. The contest, which helps raise much needed funds for spaying and neutering programs, runs through March 4th. Be sure to check it out.
*This giveaway is now closed, congrats to Chrysa.*
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.
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.
I already call myself a “pet photographer” but there is so much more to be learned.
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.
