The book Focus op Fotografie: Huisdieren fotograferen by Mark Moed features outstanding photographs and explains how to achieve similar results when photographing a pet. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at eight accomplished photographers who specialize in animal photography.
Photographers Marloes van Antwerpen, Ingrid van Ek, Haron Haghuis, Arjen Hartog, Monica van der Maden, Femke Puijman, Laura Vlaanderen, and Saskia Weijman explain their methods and techniques in detail. Their guidance provides plenty of inspiration and practical tools for photographing your pet in compelling ways.
These eight photographers earn their living by photographing pets, run workshops and training courses, and some even work internationally.
This book focuses on companion animals. A pet is a model you always have close at hand. Pets are generally photogenic, and you have time to observe them carefully so you can photograph them effectively. You also get repeated opportunities, because animals often reveal their most engaging side.
Regular practice can greatly improve your photography, and getting it right is immensely rewarding. The book teaches you effective methods for photographing dogs, cats, horses, and small rodents.
It offers tips on developing ideas for engaging photographs, shaping the moment, choosing composition and viewpoint, and working with animals so they show their most photogenic side.
