How to Take a Dog's Portraits

Article Category: Pets

Author Name: Bill Allen

It's not unusual to see a dog behave like a human, usually during inconvenient times. People and not just dog owners think that pets are almost human and deserving of affection since they can understand and exhibit human emotions. An animal portrait may successfully be done because of the application of this recognition and study of dogs' moods, likes, and dislikes.

Common displays of behavior a dog might show that indicate resentment toward his picture taking would be to wag his tail continuously, refuse to prick up his ears, or bark at the wrong instant. The portrait artist would be distracted by the hardheadedness of the dog. To make sure your dog will give an interesting and conspicuous pose, you must startle it with some kind of sound. A dog who sniffs around extends his neck and ruins the shot, but a dog who is startled slightly will just stand and prick his ears up.

The peak of a dog's alertness and brightness is early morning, before he is fed, making it the best time to photograph the dog. A dog is more capable of doing the desired pose if he is hungry and alert. Also, he does not feel so hot at this time, and his mouth will not hang open as much. A dog with an open mouth and a fatigued dog are subjects that photographers would rather not have.

It is because of one detail that you can say that dog photographers' studios and the studios of radio broadcasting stations share something in common. There is a wide variety of sound effects on hand for them to use. You will find mouse squeaks, duck quacks, and pop guns to name a few.

When a breeder looks at the proofs of his dog's portraits, he expects to see perfection and all the good points of his dog. An artist who sketches has work that is distinct from an artist who photographs dogs. When an artist draws, he tries to put in not what he knows is there, but what he can see. When taking canine pictures, photographers must try to get details that should be there rather than details that are readily visible.

The length of a daschund should be blown out of proportion. For the photographs, it is recommended that most breeds have their feet planted on the ground and their body tilted at a slight angle. The German boxer is one breed that is quite difficult to understand. If other dogs are present, this usually friendly dog becomes antagonistic.

Taking photographs of hungry dogs is easier than taking photographs of dogs who have eaten, but amateur photographers often neglect this. They make a mistake of feeding their dogs before or during the shoot and naturally have lazy and disinterested subjects. The pose would not be a challenge for the dog if he is attentive.

When posing a dog, photographers would often require the absence of the breeder. They do this because some pet owners can be quite fussy about their dog, just like a doting mother. The dog is already aware of the tricks his owner employs to get his attention, and this would not at all help. On the other hand catching their attention with various sound effects would make them give the desired reaction.
