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.

Now the position of the frame is extremely important because the photographer has to know where to put the subject of the picture in. One of the most fundamental rules of art would be to never put something in the middle of a canvas or in this case, a frame. This is simply because no one is going to look at the middle which means that the subject will not be appreciated.

Another trick when it comes to photographing animals would be to get them in moods that do not usually come out. For example, one may put a squeak toy in front of the animal to amuse it and then snap a picture at the right moment. This will definitely be a very beautiful photograph for anyone to look at.

Now lighting is also one of the most important aspects of creating a photograph. Now the photographer will be the one to decide which type of lighting is best for the picture. He may choose bright lighting for energetic pets or dark lighting for more serious and calm pets.

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.
