I recently created my first blog on a pet promotion I ran and how well it has done, and not to forget the amount of fun it has been. The most common pet to be brought in for their portrait has been the dog, however recently I was lucky enough to do a shoot for 2 cats.
I am unfortunately allergic to cats so before the shoot I took my antihistamine tablets and I was good to go. Not a single sniff or itchy eye in site, I was a machine and having loads of fun capturing the cats.
The owner of the cats was very good, calm and relaxed which is great, especially with pet portraits. As soon as the owners start stressing out and feel they letting the photographer down that is when things turn for the worse. Keep the owners calm and happy and the pets will follow too, so that is the idea!
As much as I love taking dog portraits I do look forward to a variety of other animals coming in, especially some more cats.
I am going to get my hands on a bearded dragon soon to take some 'portraits' of, which I am looking forward to and will share. Until then enjoy some of the images from my cat portrait shoot.
