By Krystal Branch


Making pet portraits is a very popular hobby that a lot of animal lovers would do simply because they would definitely love a picture of their cat or dog hanging on their walls. Of course doing this would entail a lot of knowledge when it comes to photography and some photoshop skills. So for those who are lovers of their pets or animals in general, then they would want to try to make a digital pet portrait from photos.

The setup would be the first part of this process of making animal portraits as the photographer would have to have a concept first. The setup would be the conceptualization of the entire picture starting with deciding what the background would be. Of course one will need a very nice background along with really nice surroundings so that the entire picture will actually look nice.

Of course one would also have to concentrate on giving a good angle to the subject. Good angles will add a fresh new view on the subject of the picture as it would show the viewers a new way of looking at the pets that are inside. So as a photographer, one has to make sure that he knows how to make use of all the angles in order to create a very nice photograph.

Now the position of the frame is extremely important because the photographer has to know where to put the subject of the picture in. One of the most fundamental rules of art would be to never put something in the middle of a canvas or in this case, a frame. This is simply because no one is going to look at the middle which means that the subject will not be appreciated.

Another trick when it comes to photographing animals would be to get them in moods that do not usually come out. For example, one may put a squeak toy in front of the animal to amuse it and then snap a picture at the right moment. This will definitely be a very beautiful photograph for anyone to look at.

Now lighting is also one of the most important aspects of creating a photograph. Now the photographer will be the one to decide which type of lighting is best for the picture. He may choose bright lighting for energetic pets or dark lighting for more serious and calm pets.

Now the last step when making one of these portraits would be to add the finishing touches to the photograph. This means that one will be putting the picture into the computer and will be editing the picture to make it look nicer. He may add some captions, lettering, effects, or other things that will make it look nice.

So if one is going into the business of making animal photos, then here are some things that he would be doing. If he would want to make a nice digital pet portrait from photos, then he would need superb photography skills. If one is extremely good at what he does, then he will definitely make a lot of money while doing something that he loves to do at the very same time.
