By Elena McDowell


People with pets can attest to the great company they get from them. Because of the love such people have for their pets, some want to create portraits of their favorite pets. For this reason, people want information on how to go about making dog portraits from photos which they can hang in their living rooms and many other places.

The first step in having great portrait is visualizing what it will be once completed. With an idea of how the representation will be an individual will work towards achieving it. After visualization, it is good that one considers certain aspects about his or her dog. One of the considerations is how big the pet is and how it looks like. One might be having a large dog or a small one; a working type or a frilly lap one. Considering this will ensure the individual comes up with a good background to use.

A pet that takes commands will determine whether good photos will be taken or not. This is because the animal will be required to stay still so that snapshots can be taken. It can be frustrating having a pet that does not want to stand still therefore the individual will need to reposition it several times before getting good snapshots.

A person should avoid giving the pet anything to eat so as to take still pictures. The reason for this is the animal will not look up when the snaps are being taken as it will only be concentrating on the food. One should thus have someone to assist him in repositioning the pet and making it pose. Taking the photos should be from the level of the dog hence a person will need to kneel.

When taking the snapshots, the individual should maintain focus on the eyes of the animal. This is because with a sharp eye image, even the rest of body of the subject will not matter. A person should also take snaps when the pet is attentive as if listening to something. Such images are always amazing to look at. The photos should be taken from various angles. After this, the individual should then determine the frames of the picture (s).

The person should therefore conduct research on good frames to use for the pictures. This can be through researching over the internet or seeking help from professional photographers. With an appropriate frame, the individual should then print out a photo that fills the frame. Therefore are instances where people print very small photos of the animal just because they want the back ground to be seen.

Some people make the mistake of minimizing the image just because they want the background to be seen. But with a good dog portrait, even the background can be eliminated if need be. The lighting should also be clear and one can add effects where need be.

These tips will ensure that people create great dog portraits from photos which will be admired by many. In case an individual is having trouble doing it himself, he can get a professional pet portrait artist to do the job. Such people can be found over the internet or through recommendations.
