Description:

Pet and animal photography is a lucrative yet largely untapped venture. Professional
Techniques for Pet and Animal Photography provides portrait photographers with the
information they need to tap into this market. Author Deb Muska shows readers how
to work magicùfrom earning the subjectÆs trust, to downplaying flaws, to capturing
their unique personalities in images that the average pet ownerù or breederùwill
cherish.

methods used, then provides chapters devoted exclusively to photographing dogs, cats,
horses, reptiles, and more.

While capturing the professional animal portrait is the bookÆs focus, Muska does not stop
there. With chapters devoted to everything from creating an animal-friendly studio, to fine-
tuning and printing the final image, to developing marketing strategies, this book provides
everything photographers need to realize the potential of pet and animal portraiture.
