Pet Photography, Ventura Beach
Web album is open to public: Pet Photography, Ventura
This was my second pet photography gig in a month.
I’m trying to do more pet photography, see.
There are a few tricks on how to take good pet pictures. The number one rule is that you must not be allergic :). Unlike humans, animals don’t usually “Fake” what they feel about you. If they don’t like you, they will let you know. I mean, they will not get along with you forever. So the well-rounded personality (the vibe) is even more important in pet photography than in wedding photography.
Today was Sunday. I just had a wedding at Thousand Oaks yesterday. The first thing I did last night was to get all my camera gear ready for today.
Oh, before the Pet Photo-shoot, I went to Starbucks Coffee in Ventura to return a wedding album from the wedding at Ventura Fair Ground. Wedding was on June 21st. So, the package was completed and delivered in three weeks. The bride was very happy with the pictures.
Now I was ready for the pet photography gig.
I went to a nice beach community in Ventura. First we photographed the dogs. The dogs were full of energy. Those poor guys got yelled at a few times so they can behave, ha ha… Then we went to the beach. The dogs had a lot of fun. These dogs were a handful. They were running around the beach and making friends with strangers (both humans & dogs alike). It was very cute.
After the beach photo-shoot, we went back home for the cats. There where two cats to be photographed. Both of them were shy and tried to hide from me. I quickly became friendly with one cat. But the other cat was a little upset (poor guy). We all set quiet and relaxed for a while. That’s when the cats got ready for photography. After a while, both of them fell asleep, that we had to wake them up with the toys.
I had nice locations for pet photography, so all pictures came out nice. I didn’t have to use flash on all the indoor pictures. This house was made for pet photography. I am very happy with the results.
Mental Note: I need to buy a pair of casual shoes for pet photography jobs like this. Every single pair of my shoes are formal dress-shoes. I do not have a pair of sneakers. I take out trash in a black dress shoes.
