Dog photography
The development of the pet industry has not only moved Pet-related tools also have a considerable impact on other industries. For example, pet photography has gradually become popular recently. Some clothing merchants even replaced the models with dogs. Such bold attempts have achieved considerable success. However, it is not an easy task to help dogs take pictures. After all, they cannot cooperate with us forever, and it is even more difficult to get them to show the posture we want.
Many pet owners like to take photos of their pets, and the current shortage of pet photographers has made this industry suddenly popular. Well, due to the shortage of personnel, all related prices will be relatively high. Maybe most people don’t have a correct idea about the cost of helping dogs take portraits, so let’s do some proof on this.
We all know that it is impossible for dogs to cooperate with the photographer's requests like us humans, so we will definitely encounter a lot of troubles during the shooting process. In addition to understanding their habits and moods, photographers also need to understand the individual temperament of each dog breed, such as the majesty of Alaska, the handsomeness of golden retrievers, and the cuteness of teddy dogs, which all require considerable patience from them. There are often two factors in taking good photos of dogs. The first is "catching" and the second is "waiting". The so-called catching and waiting are waiting for the interesting moment when the pet yawns and sticks out its tongue. Snap now. If you want dogs to take photos together, it is best to wear toys that dogs often like to play with when taking pictures to attract their attention. If there is almost no cooperation, the photographer can only follow it. Running around, sometimes even lying on the ground and rolling back and forth to find the right angle.
Use toys to attract their attention when taking pictures
For now The top pets in the worldThere are not many photographers, and their development goals are also different. Some of them are to follow and take photos of various dog competitions around the world. Owners who take their dogs to participate in exhibitions and win awards will buy photos after the competition. The number of dogs required for a dog race is usually around 20-40 dogs, and there are two races a week during busy times.
Comparatively speaking, photographers who specialize in life portraits do not have to travel around the world. After the shooting, the client pays according to the number of photos selected. Some photographers charge daily service fees, ranging from about 100 yuan to 200 yuan a day. Regardless of the development path, a photographer who does well will earn more than 10,000 yuan per month, and the price of a single photo is about 150 yuan.
In response to the needs of pet owners or kennels, they select masterpieces from a large number of photos and create beautiful photo albums, scroll paintings, and pull-up pictures through graphic design. This part of the income is often not close to the cost of shooting.
Owners who believe in taking photos of their dogs also know that it is not easy to take beautiful photos of their dogs. Sometimes, It takes a lot of time to take a good picture of a face. And once the dog loses interest in this task, the difficulty of shooting will increase significantly. Therefore, professional pet photographers are not a simple job. They need to have a certain understanding of dog habits and have a good grasp of the shooting time. If they want to take some good photos, they It may be necessary to do various lying, lying down, tossing and other movements during the shooting, so it is quite hard, so it is understandable that the price of helping the dog take portrait photos is relatively high.
