Photographing pets can be hard work so use tricks to bring out their character
Every animal has its own character traits and will act in a different way in front of the camera. Unlike with human models, communicating your intentions in words will have limited effect. This makes working with pets challenging, especially when it is an animal you don’t know or have never worked with before. So the most important task is to take your time to get to know your fluffy model and work out how to deal with them.
