Becoming a pet photographer

[davidbridges]

Hi all,

Ive been thinking for last few months of being a pet photographer to earn my self a little bit of cash. Im 15 so i can't really set up a buissness or anything like that it was just a thought. If i was to do it i would be shooting in the owners own surroundings as i have no studio kit. Is this idea any good, or is it just stupid that im thinking of doing this.

it sounds like a good idea, can i ask how did you take the top shot, was there a flash or was it a brightly lit room,

i am very impressed with that shot and i like the 2nd one as well.

thanks

I think you have 2 lovely pics there. If you want to continue taking pics for friends and family that is probably the place to start. Don't charge them for the sitting and then make yourself and ok profit on any prints they may want. I think that would be a good way to start out. As you do more for friends and family and they are good you will get more people calling you. Good luck!

For mark :1st shot, taken in RAW that gave me the ultimate flexibility, There was a cream wall in the backround but i was only using light from the bulb. But i think i will do that, then hopefully get some prints then people go to their house and go ''oooh who took that'' that idea. Just need some more people to take shots for !

I totally love both of those shots!

I think it's great idea, do let me know how you get on.
