Create A Digital Pet Portrait From Photos

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.

Of course in order to start making one, the photographer would first have to build a good setup which encompasses all the necessary elements for a good picture. Of course the photographer would have to choose a good area for the setting. From there, he would have to choose a nice background for the animal.

Part of this setup would be the angle of pictures. Angles are very important because they would add more dynamism to the picture as it would add a whole new point of view for the viewer. So if one is to become a photographer, then he has to make sure to learn the different types of angles as these angles will definitely be able to make the pictures look more beautiful.

Determining the position is also extremely important because the animal has to be put in the right part of the frame. Now one rule that all photographers would usually observe would be to never put anything in the middle. This is simply because the middle is considered a dead center where nobody looks.

Now one of the tasks of the photographers would be to help the animals go into poses that would be suitable for the picture. Unlike humans, animals will not smile or do a wacky shot when the photographer would tell them to do so. So it is up to the photographer to know how to make them show emotions or strike poses.

Of course lighting is extremely important as it would add to the charm of a picture. The lighting will depend on how the photographer would want to show the animal. He may actually use bright lights to show energy and happiness or he could use dark lights in order to illustrate a rather calm and serene setting.

Now one of the most important parts of this process would actually be the photo editing part. This is one of the most important parts because this is where one would be adding the final touches to the portrait itself. One will be refining the picture by adding some effects or extra things that will appeal to the eyes.

So if one is a pet photographer, then these are some things that he would have to take note of. Now if one is an animal lover and a good photographer, then he will really enjoy this job and make a lot of money in the process. As long as he does his job well, then he will be able to make a really beautiful digital pet portrait from photos that he took.
