Sometimes all the ingredients for a perfect shoot come together – this was one of those times. Simba was an amazing model, the weather was perfect, and I had the most gorgeous autumn leaves to work with. I loved this shoot and I hope you do to!
Autumn in Melbourne is my favourite season, and it is the perfect time of year for a pet photography session. Want to win your very own Pet Portrait session? Click here to find out how!
It recently occurred to me that it has literally been months since I took some proper shots of Harry – terribly neglectful of me! I’ve been so busy that all I’ve had the energy to do is to take the occasional iPhone snap while exhausted on the couch. Today though all the ingredients were right for a mini shoot – beautiful muted sunlight through the bedroom window and Harry was in the mood to play.
A couple of hints for getting great cat photos – if you use a toy (I use a bendy stick with feathers) try holding it right next to the camera. This way the cat will lock eyes with you and it makes for a striking shot. A word of warning, get out of the way before they pounce!
When photographing your cat, look for colours that will play off their eyes. Our pale green and white bed linen is almost exactly the same colour as Harry’s, this really makes the eyes the focus. If you can’t match, try extreme contrast.
On a slightly different note- my Winter Giveaway is now open for entries! Head on over to my Facebook page to leave yours.
