Natural Lighting
If at all possible, use natural light when photographing your pet. Avoid using flash for it can frighten your animal and even cause red-eye. Try going outside where there is natural, even sunlight. Or photograph them in a room well lit from a large window.

Position the camera to be level with the subject. If your pet is laying sprawled out on the floor, kneel down and angle the camera to be at their eye level. Show us how they see the world! This lends to a more powerful composition, thus photograph and canvas print.Pet Cat on Canvas Print
Character
Give your animals their time and space to be natural. Patience is a key with photographing your pets. If want to capture their true personality, do not force them to pose. Let them act as they normally would and wait for the perfect shot. If your cat is a lazy feline, get him napping, yawning or stretching. If he is a playful, energetic cat, shoot him in action playing with his favorite toy.
It’s All in the Eyes
Animals are extremely expressive in their eyes. Make sure to keep the focus on their eyes and keep the track sharp. Having defined and clear eyes is very important in pet photography.
Timing
If you are looking to shoot a formal pet portrait, schedule the photo session when your pet has just woken from a nap or has just expended his energy from playing. When your pet is sleepy it will be much easier to keep him still and you can achieve a classic pose. If you want a more dynamic shot, chose a time when your pet is energetic and playful. If you take these tips into account, your pets personality will surely be captured in your photograph. Once you have the perfect photo, you can then turn it into a work of art by printing on a gallery-wrapped canvas. Your canvas print will forever hold the essence of your beloved pets.
