Taking pictures of your dog is fun! Anyone with a phone and Instagram app can do it.
But is there a way to take more unique photos of your dog? Of course, there is. Just ask professional dog photographers like us.
There are many ways to encourage your dog so they can do exciting things, whether it’s throwing a ball or giving them a treat. With that said, there are more ways to capture unique photos of your furry friend. The best part about it is that you can do all of these at home!
Want to take quirky pictures of your dog? Prepare your camera and give your dog a treat; here are 4 ways to take unique photos of your dog at home!
1. Put peanut butter on your dog’s face
Other than your camera, the most vital tool at your disposal is… peanut butter? Believe it or not, people have been putting peanut butter on their dogs’ faces for quite some time now. In fact, it’s an ingenious idea for a lot of reasons.
First, all dogs love a good treat, and they’ll eat anything tasty, especially peanut butter! Also, it’s safe to feed peanut butter to your dog, as long as it doesn’t contain xylitol or chocolate. The best option would be unsalted organic peanut butter.
Second, it’ll be hard for your dog to remove peanut butter on their nose, thanks to its sticky substance and texture. You’ll have enough time to take a photo of your dog licking peanut butter on their face!
2. Make them “human”
Almost everyone adores pictures of dogs doing stuff humans usually do, like reading a book or wearing sunglasses. You could even dress up your dog in a costume, as long as he/she finds it comfortable. How can you make your dog appear “human”, anyway?
For example, if you have a pair of sunglasses, then you’re all set! Let your dog wear it. Just remember to relax your pet so they can feel comfortable. You can also place a book or newspaper in front of your dog for extra cuteness.
3. Bathe your dog
If you don’t want to get your hands wet, you might want to ask for help with this photoshoot idea. Try bathing your dog if they enjoy getting wet!
Unlike cats, most dogs tolerate water. Some dogs, such as Labrador Retrievers and Poodles, like getting wet—making it easy for owners of these breeds to put a smile on their pet’s faces!
4. Offer toys and treats
There’s nothing more dogs love more than treats and toys! If one snack is enough to satisfy your dog’s hunger, what more with a whole pile of foods and toys?
You can host a mini-party for your dog and reward them with food and toys. Place a pile of treats and toys in one area, and wait for your dog to come running like it’s the happiest day ever. That way, you’ll have enough time to capture photos of your dog enjoying their pile of gifts!
These are just some of the clever ideas you could do at home. Remember to treat your dog after a long day of modelling for your photoshoot! For even better pet photography ideas, consider getting the help of a photographer in Singapore.
