Dealing with Uncooperative Cats for Photo Sessions
Why can everyone else succeed while I can't?
There's a saying that goes, 'Fantasy is always beautiful, but the cat in someone else's house is always someone else's. They post heartwarming photos of their cozy family moments: while your phone album is filled with a hundred failed group shots and nine hundred identical pictures.
Let's be honest, taking photos with your furry companion can be a real hairpulling experience. It's not about how goodlooking your pet is or how white their fur is; it's all about whether you're using the right techniques!
Here are some tips to help your cat cooperate for a photo:
1. Temptation Method
Like a cool cat, pull out some treats and toys! Don't overthink it; just stick them right next to the camera. Whether you're dealing with one furball or a multipet household, this method can easily secure a perfect group photo!
2. Avoid Forcing
Remember, forcing your pet can lead to them running away. While dogs might be okay with it, a scared cat might never be caught easily again! We should gently move to their side when they're sitting or lying down, then take the photo. This increases your chances of success significantly.
3. Rapid Fire
This skill is something we all should have mastered. When taking photos with your pets, you need to be quick, accurate, and decisive! The 'rapid fire' technique can yield a successful photo even if they only stay still for a few seconds. Just make sure it's not you with a dark face, not the cat.
4. Utilize Editing Skills
Use photo editing tools like cutouts! While you might get a few side eyes for this tip, the truth is, if your face is too dark and even rapid fire fails, it's time to download a few photo editing apps. It's better to have a forced group photo than none at all.
Well, that's all for today's sharing. In reality, taking photos of your pets isn't as difficult as you might think. With the right techniques, you'll definitely capture some stunning shots!
