Here is Jazz, she's a collie who loves to play... to get a good picture of her staying still it requires a good 20minute run before she'll consider posing. Even then I only got a couple of shots before she came to lick the camera some more.
If there wasn't quite enough fluff on Jazz's fur then this is Princess Lilly, she looks cute but harbours the mind of a twisted criminal villain. Again, not a pet to stay still for long... stretching was a weirdly still pose!
- Most importantly, get down to eye level. It sounds simple, but it makes such a difference.
- If you can manage this without them licking the camera or running towards you you're on to a winning shot
- Keep backgrounds neutral (unlike Lilly pictured above).
- Keep the rule of thirds.
- Don't use the flash, certainty not a direct flash.
- To keep the shutter speed fast use a bright sunlight, not backlit obliviously.
