By Susan Bailey
Wouldn’t it be great to have a picture of your adorable, loyal Yorkshire Terrier on a tee-shirt, a sweatshirt, a screensaver, a mouse pad, or a coffee mug? By following a few simple tips for taking outstanding pictures, you’ll be able to take high-quality photos of your pet with an inexpensive digital camera or your smartphone.
Have fun with your yorkie photoshoot
Taking pictures of your Yorkshire Terrier can be a fun activity for you and your dog to do together. This beautiful breed, with its silky coat, is a natural subject for portrait photography. Your dog can look terrific in pictures whether you use the very latest in high-tech digital cameras or your smartphone.
As we know, with digital photography, you only pay for the pictures that you want to print. Blurry shots, overexposed frames, red eyes and other rejected frames all disappear into the digital trash can with a single click.
Your dog only has a certain amount of patience, so get everything ready beforehand. Put fresh high-capacity memory storage card in your digital camera, replace the batteries and carry fresh batteries with you.
Choose a setting for your Yorkie photoshoot
For an indoor setting, make sure there is plenty of light shining on your Yorkshire Terrier, and arrange any backdrops you will need so you can grab them quickly between shots. If you are taking pictures outdoors, secure the area for your Yorkshire Terrier’s safety. A fenced back yard makes a great outdoor setting.
As soon as you pick up the camera, you have your hands full. You need to devote your attention to framing the shot and operating the camera, so ask someone to help you. Choose someone who gets along with your dog, and whom your dog likes. Taking pictures together can be a fun adventure for the three of you. Serving refreshments for the people and the dog will help make the session more enjoyable. Take plenty of breaks to keep your dog from tiring out. Thank your assistant after the session is over by sending him or her one of the great Yorkshire Terrier pictures you took with your assistant’s help.
Keep the photoshoot area clean!
Nothing is worse than taking great picture of your Yorkshire Terrier without noticing that you have a cluttered background, with laundry, dishes or newspapers competing for attention with your dog. To avoid clutter, use a solid-colored background to make your pictures the best they can be. Another way to have a spectacular background in your Yorkshire Terrier pictures is to use a chromatic green backdrop. With a chromatic green backdrop, your background disappears digitally, and you can insert your Yorkshire Terrier into virtually any backdrop you can find. You can add surf, turf or snow to your picture without every going to the beach, the park, or the mountain.
Look into their puppy dog eyes
The best Yorkshire Terrier pictures all seem to be at the dog’s eye level. Don’t be afraid to get down on the floor with your dog and take pictures, or set your dog on a tabletop or bed to raise its height. Remember, safety first! With these great tips, soon you’ll be taking amazing pictures of your dog.
