Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppy Artwork For Sale

I’m often asked, “How do you get these puppies to sit for you so nicely?”

Well, don’t judge the final result with the behind the scenes craziness.  Photographing pets in a formal studio setting is a juggling act.

The photographer angles for the best, well angle and the dog angles for the quickest way out the door.

Freezing motion is best down with a studio strobe.  The downside is that it tends to freak out some dogs.

Nailing focus on the eyes is another tricky feat.  I find it easiest to use a mirrorless camera for a couple of reasons.  One I can trigger the shutter by touching the back LCD screen so my eyes don’t leave the animal.  And at the same time I can choose the focus point.  Just tap the eye on the back on the camera.

Some pets can be taught to pose.  Like my Westie Tiki.  He is a great model.  I just put him in place and he holds to pose for minutes.  And then he gets a treat of course.

But with most dogs its trial and error and try, try again.
