17. Your pet could be your very own model – and you can pay them in treats!
You can photograph them in pretty much any setting, and they will be perfect: at the window, outside, sitting pretty for a treat – they are the ideal models. Work with different lighting and accessories for different looks. Try the couch for a lazy day feel, or have them pose to figure out what their online dating profile picture would look like.

Take a close-up of their eyes using a little bit of flash and a shallow depth of field, and don’t forget to make it a fun process for them! Use treats, squeaky toys, tennis balls, or their favorite stuffed animal to keep their attention on you. Cheese is always a favorite for most dogs – so cube a block up and treat them to a tiny portion every time they give you the “blue steel.”
