How To Make A Digital Pet Portrait From Photos

By Krystal Branch


One of the best ways these days to go into the photography industry would be to tap into the niche markets. These days, there are so many animal lovers who would be treating their pets like their own children. Since these people would really want to have a lot of memories with the pets, then a photographer may make a digital pet portrait from photos that he would take.

The setup would be the first part of this process of making animal portraits as the photographer would have to have a concept first. The setup would be the conceptualization of the entire picture starting with deciding what the background would be. Of course one will need a very nice background along with really nice surroundings so that the entire picture will actually look nice.

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 the last step when making one of these portraits would be to add the finishing touches to the photograph. This means that one will be putting the picture into the computer and will be editing the picture to make it look nicer. He may add some captions, lettering, effects, or other things that will make it look nice.

So basically, those are some things that one will be doing if he would want to create a digital pet portrait from photos. Photographing animals is a very interesting hobby simply because one would get to see the wonder of nature up close. Of course one will be able to make a big profit by doing this for clients.
