Attention! It is better to rent a fawn for a photo shoot in the summer. The fawn loses its bright, red color with characteristic spots as soon as it begins to mature. By autumn, the first molt begins and the remarkable spotted color becomes less and less noticeable. We can arrange a shoot with a grown-up fawn, but it will no longer be a spotted baby Bambi.

  • Family photo sessions with animals

    Photographing all family members is usually timed to coincide with some holiday or date that is significant for people, for example: New Year, wedding anniversary, expecting a child, birthday and the like. Therefore, such photo sessions usually involve the family’s pets, most often a dog or a cat.

    Here it is important to decide on the idea and location for shooting, which can take place outdoors or in the studio.
    Such shooting can be an excellent option for a family vacation, especially if you are looking for original idea, how to spend a weekend with your family. This can be a small, unforgettable adventure.

    Keep in mind that if you are planning a photo shoot with a cat or dog that is nervous in the presence of strangers, the shooting can be stressful for the pet. It is better to take care of comfort in advance and hold the event in a studio where there are no prying eyes or noise that will distract.

    It all depends on your imagination and budget: you can simply take a photo of a baby with a pet, or you can organize a whole project with interesting decorations and fabulous costumes for the child and the participation of unusual animals, such as an owl, a raccoon or a rabbit. Such a shoot will not only be an excellent gift for a child, it will bring a lot of emotions and impressions, because communication with animals has a positive effect on children.

  • wedding photo shoot with a dog

  • Wedding photo shoot with animals

    This genre is also gaining popularity, because a wedding is, first of all, a family holiday. For many couples, a pet is a full-fledged member of the family, so the bride and groom definitely want to have a wedding photo shoot with a dog or their favorite cat. Sometimes animals even take part in on-site registration.

    Of course, this is just a great idea for a wedding, but there are some features to consider:

    • Animals are unpredictable

      It is difficult to predict how an animal will behave during filming, because this can become stressful for it. If you plan to have a dog or cat participate in the ceremony, practice with the animal on the site in advance, and also allow a little more time for the photo shoot.

    • Animals can get tired

      Yes, just like people, your pets get tired, spending a whole day at a wedding surrounded by guests can be a difficult experience for them. It is better to take your pet only for part of the celebration - the photo shoot and ceremony, and take it home for the duration of the banquet.

    • Love story photo shoot with animals

      If you're worried about peace of mind your pet, but still want to see photos of him in family album, you should give preference to shooting a love story with an animal. A photo walk in the park at sunset with your beloved dog or a stylized photograph of the bride's preparations with the participation of your beloved cat are just a few options that you can think of.

Where is the best place to have a photo shoot with animals?

There is no definite answer to this question, because everything depends on the idea, concept, time of year and what animal will be involved in the shooting. The most common options are in the studio and outdoors; let’s take a closer look at each of them.

Photographing with animals in the studio

It is worth noting that the most popular animal for photography can easily be called a dog, but not always. Here everything depends on the idea of ​​the project, for example, the hero of a New Year’s photo shoot with animals can be the symbols of the year; in 2019, this is, as we know, a pig.

A corporate, friendly or family New Year's shoot with the symbol of the year can become not only great ideas, how to have fun, but also an annual tradition.

Also, New Year's photo shoots are characterized by the use of festive decor, but you should not be afraid that additional costs for decor will be needed; in most capital studios, during the month before and after the New Year, they display festive decor: Christmas trees, garlands, gifts and other attributes. All you have to do is choose a suitable room.

Features of photography with animals in the studio:

  • Of course, it’s easiest with dogs, since they are well-mannered. In other cases, be prepared for the fact that if an animal stains the floor, you will have to clean up after it, and sometimes pay a fine.
  • In many photo studios you will have to pay extra for the participation of animals in the shooting process, sometimes the amount is fixed, sometimes the payment is hourly, depending on the regulations of a particular site. In some studios, the presence of animals is completely prohibited, so this moment Please check before booking the room.
  • Participation in filming exotic animals requires special permission from the location administration and in some cases is prohibited; again, it all depends on the location, check this point in advance.

Photo sessions with animals in nature

Of course, every time of year is charming in its own way. But, of course, in this case, the most popular idea— photo sessions with dogs in winter, for example in the forest. Of course, there are also other animals such as reindeer, wolf, bear, horse or cat, but much less frequently.

Features of a photo shoot with animals in nature:

  • It is better to choose a location that is not too crowded for shooting. Even if you have a dog accustomed to public places, excess noise and large crowds of people will distract him from the process. This is especially true for more exotic animals.
  • In some Moscow parks it is prohibited to conduct photo sessions with animals, especially exotic ones. To avoid getting a fine unknowingly, check this in advance. You can also ask a photographer for advice on choosing a site; an experienced specialist will help you choose a good option.
  • Focus on weather conditions, this principle is true for any outdoor shooting. If they promise rainy or too cold weather, it is better not to risk it and reschedule the shooting date.

What animals do photo shoots with: top 8 ideas

  1. With a dog

    This is perhaps the most popular option. It’s not surprising, since it’s easiest to organize a photo shoot with a dog, since they are used to going outside and behave calmly in the presence of strangers. A new place does not cause stress for the animal; in addition, some pets know how to follow commands and are easy to place in a frame.

  2. family photography with dog

  3. With husky

    Yes, I know that this is also a dog, but photo shoots with huskies have been a separate topic in the last couple of years, they have become so popular. Absolutely everyone, both adults and children, like blue-eyed charmers: they carry out stylized projects, New Year's shoots and incredibly beautiful winter photo shoots. Those who do not have their own dog are happy to rent huskies for a photo shoot, especially since they are very friendly and sociable.

  5. With a cat

    More than 35% of Russians keep cats at home, so filming with them is also quite popular. But working with them is somewhat more difficult, because an ordinary cat is not used to large crowds of people and a change in environment. Photo sessions with cats are often carried out in the studio, as it is calmer there.

    Be sure to put silicone anti-scratch covers on your cat before filming, this will help keep your clothes in order. After all, even if the animal is calm, it can release its claws when it is picked up.

    My clients often order filming with my cat: he is very calm, vaccinated, easily communicates with people and has experience filming both in the studio and on the street.

  7. With New Year symbols

    Of course, this applies to themed New Year photo shoots with animals, as I wrote above, this can become a wonderful annual tradition, both for family and for a group of friends. In 2019, the symbol of the year will be a pig; photo shoots with it are now at the peak of popularity.

  8. With rabbits

    Many people keep rabbits at home and are happy to take them for a photo shoot. You can also organize a turnkey shoot with the participation of charming rabbits; participating in such a project is interesting for both children and adults.

  10. With deer

    Every year, thousands of animals die at the hands of poachers who catch them for sale. Natasha Wilson decided to draw public attention to this serious problem by photographing exotic animals in the company of charming female models.

    For a long time my wife and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding ceremony: We were worried, we didn’t know who to choose. Since we are not very photogenic, we needed a photographer who would not only take good photos, but also put us in a good pose. We contacted Vitaly through an application for a photographer - he...

    responded to us himself, like many others. Looking through the portfolios of other candidates, we were disappointed: most of them were all carbon copies, of the same type, or the style did not suit our ideas. When we went to Vitaly’s profile, we were surprised by his style and individual style (and what a chair!) We decided to choose him, agreed, called, met, discussed all the points, and drew up an agreement. Vitaly did not smoke, was not late for a meeting, did not sit on the phone, did many excellent and good photos, fulfilled the issuance deadlines. If you are also worried and in doubt, choose Vitaly - he does an excellent job.

    We were looking for a photographer for a wedding to photograph the Walk and the Registry Office. Until this moment, I had never used the services of professional photographers, so I didn’t know where to start. We looked at several photographers, but after the first conversation with Vladislav we realized that we had found it. Vladislav immediately took the initiative in...

    his own hands, began to offer shooting options, angles and compositions, even taking into account changes in the weather and the composition of the guests (adults, children, relatives, friends). During a personal meeting, he minutely outlined the plan for our movements, shooting locations, compositions, even thinking through the parking location. I was surprised that he gave recommendations regarding “preparation” for the process: 1. Get enough sleep. 2. Don’t worry, no matter what happens! These are really very important and practical tips! The shooting itself was very positive. Vladislav encouraged, gave recommendations, but at the same time remained unobtrusive. The photos turned out amazing. I really like the angles and the captured shots. I was pleasantly surprised that the processed photographs were taken in several versions: black and white, color and for social networks. We were lucky with our first photography experience thanks to Vladislav!
