How to take pictures of pets indoors?

No matter what kind of photography subject, we need to have a sufficient understanding of the subject before shooting. For example, when shooting portraits, we will fully communicate with the models; when shooting landscapes and still lifes, we also need to have a sufficient understanding of their characteristics in order to shoot good works. The same is true for pet photography. Before preparing to shoot, you must have an understanding of the pet's personality, such as whether it is quiet or active? Pets with different personalities need to be guided in different shooting styles. Only through the food and toys they are interested in attracts, guides their attention and the direction of their next action, and captures them.

Indoor shooting, creative priority. In addition to framing indoors, it is a more important step. We need to formulate a shooting plan. We can use more creativity to present more different pictures, and we can also use various pet props to build a perfect shooting scene.

Taking individual creativity as an example, the main form of the zodiac dog year theme shooting is that a puppy is shot in different states, and stitched through post-production to make New Year photos. In addition to the camera lens, you need to prepare a tripod, three flashes, a shooting stage, a red background paper, a red box, a pet bow tie and other props.

When shooting, use a tripod to fix the camera position, set the camera to M, and set the appropriate aperture and shutter speed. Three flashes, one for the face light and two for the background light. In the same scene, the same camera position, and the same light source environment, shoot different states and actions to prepare for the post-production.

During post-production, select one as the base image, draw a baseline, and adjust the box. Drag the other three pictures into the base picture, and adjust the box to a uniform size according to the baseline. By adjusting the transparency of the layer, overlap the position of the box, and delete the part that blocks the pet's body. After the preliminary production is completed, continue to carry out fine processing, use the "Eraser" to erase the edges that block the pet's body, merge the layers, and use the "Stamp Tool" to fill in the white tablecloth and the red background, and finally in the red box. Plus 2018 text material.

According to the color and tone of the picture, you can fine-tune the red to your satisfaction through the "Selectable Color" tool and the "Color/Saturation" tool. Select the "Crop Tool", leave a white area above the picture, put the text of Happy New Year, combine them all, and save.

In general, understand pet habits, focus on capturing details, be familiar with equipment and shooting modes and be able to use them proficiently, and you can play pet photography with more practice.
