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?

Try to stop down your aperture to maybe f/8.0 or so. You'll need more light to do this, but pets tend to have longer faces than humans, and it will give you more room for error on focus. It's a common problem to be focused on the nose instead of the eyes, and on humans this isn't as noticeable because we don't have snouts
