LET'S FORAY INTO THE FIELD OF Pet Photography

Pet photography is an art where we aim to capture the soul of pets and the beauty of their goofy, crazy world!

It comes as a surprise to many that pet photography is a profession and is gaining popularity. However, this is not new for pet owners. Pet owners have always tried to capture the right moments with their pets and have countless pictures of them stored on their phone or computer. But, quantity does not always equal quality and they are left unsatisfied. This need to capture the perfect fun-filled moments with their pets has resulted in the increase in pet photography services. In my opinion, it is better to have a small collection of creatively captured pet photos that showcases the true personality of pets.

Another factor that has played an important part in the growth of this profession is the bond between pets and their parents (not owners). Pets are no more being treated as guard animals or a status symbol, but are seen as a part of the family. Rather, they are family! Pet parents understand that they deserve love, attention, and care just like humans. This is clearly evident on social media platforms where people not only have their personal accounts but also pet accounts. Pet parents want to showcase their love for their fur buddies in every possible way, be it celebrating birthdays, ‘gotcha’ days or just a picnic experience. Pets are constantly doing something that is photo-worthy – even when they’re being naughty, and the need to capture these priceless expressions has created a place for professional pet photography in people’s lives.
