A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Any tips for pet photography? (alien.top)

I am an absolute beginner when it comes to photography. I recently received a fairly nice mirrorless digital camera and wanted to make use of it for creating adoption profiles for my foster cats. Those of you who photograph pets for a living: do you have any tips?

I've mostly photographed dogs, like others have said get down on the ground to their level. Have someone behind you to get the pets attention. Remember they each will have their own personality. My sister has two dogs, one is camera shy, if she sees a camera, she'll sneak off to another room. The other will roll over onto his back, very submissive. My niece has a dog that will pose when you get the camera out. Crazy! Good luck.
