Your dog is a walking mood booster—your photos should be, too. You don’t need pro gear to capture wall‑worthy shots; a phone plus a few tricks will showcase action, expression, and all that personality.
Light Is Everything
Shoot in open shade or golden hour. Indoors, face windows and avoid mixed lighting. Tap to expose for your dog’s face so eyes stay bright.
Tack‑Sharp Action
- Use burst mode during fetch or zoomies.
- Pre‑focus on a spot, then cue your dog to run through it.
- Hold the phone steady at chest level for cleaner panning.
Flattering Portraits
Get low to their eye level. Use a treat near the lens for attention. Try the rule of thirds and leave space in the direction your dog is looking.
Personality Prompts
- “Head tilt” cue with a soft sound or squeaker.
- Capture rituals—post‑walk flop, toy lineup, sun‑spot naps.
- Tell a mini story: three frames—anticipation, action, reward.
With smart light and playful prompts, your camera roll becomes a highlight reel of your dog’s best self.
