How To Photograph Your Dog

how to photograph your dog Family albums are not complete without photographs of the family dog. Photographing the family dog can be a lot of fun, especially when you are able to catch a funny or cute moment. For those amateur photographers wanting to get some great pictures of their dogs photographer Erica Bickerstaff of EB Phtography gives the following tips for capturing your dog at his best.

Try getting down on your dog's level for a more interesting perspective.
Try to capture images of your dogs when they don't realize you're watching. Look for an opportunity when they are playing with a toy, 'hunting' something of interest, or parked in the front window waiting for their favorite family member to return home.
Pictures of dogs running are always beautiful, especially if you can get in front of their path to get a shot of their face as they run toward you or a profile shot against a gorgeous backdrop like the tide or sunset.
If your dog has good manners and sits pretty, you've got it made! A stately photo of a handsomely posed dog is always stunning. Just make sure to fill the entire frame with the dog to bring focus to the animal rather than his background.
A photo of a dog displaying human-like characteristics is always amusing. If you catch your Great Dane sitting upright in the corner of the couch with one 'arm' propped up on the arm rest, grab your camera!
