GDA10: How to Take Better Dog Pictures with Sherry Stinson - a podcast by Fernando Camacho
from 2013-11-12T17:57:51
Let me guess, your phone is jam packed with pictures of your pooch. I knew it! . . . Mine too. The problem is that most of them are, shall we say, less than stellar.
Taking good pictures of dogs is no easy task. Dogs move around a lot and often don’t agree on what we think is a great photo opp. Try as we may to create the perfect shot that will be shared around Facebook for days, we are usually left with a collection of blurry butt shots.
There’s a lot that needs to be considered when taking pictures of animals and it can differ quite a bit from how we take shots of our human family.
To help up you get that perfect shot I invited dog photographer Sherry Stinson on to share some tips and tricks on taking better pictures of our furry best pals and make it fun too. She’s a professional photographer that donates her time and skills to animal shelters, taking picture of their dogs.
She’s worked with 27 shelters in the last 5 years. One shelter she just started taking the pictures in Jan. 2013 reports adoptions are up 10.6%, other rescues pulling their dogs is up 32% and other shelters pulling dogs out is up 87%. That just shows how important taking good pictures is for rescues and shelters.
In this episode you’ll learn
- How to make your dog enjoy getting his picture taken
- How lighting can affect your photos
- Tips for photographing black dogs
- What rescues can do to get better picture
