Pug owners are like most dog owners, they’d like to have photos of their pet. It can be fun to upload cute pictures of your pet to sites online that welcome photos of pets, or of Pugs particularly, and see what photos others have posted of their Pugs. There are many sites online specifically for that purpose.
Pugs happen to be particularly cute with their little size, wrinkled face, and soulful eyes, and so it seems natural to want to photograph them. They also have plenty of personality, like when they do clever things to try to get attention from their owners or others. It’s natural to want to take pictures of all the cuteness.
There are many tricks that can help when you are taking pictures of your Pug. If you are prepared and follow the suggestions below, you can get some great shots of your Pug.
If you keep a few key things in mind when you take pictures of your Pug, they are likely to come out much better. First, remember your setting. Try to have a simple background that your Pug will stand out against. If taking photos outside, try the early morning or late afternoon for best lighting. Take the photos from down at the pet’s level - yes, lying on the grass may be the best way. Also, get in close so that the expressions and light in your Pug’s eye show up well.
It is smart to have a helper on hand to be a second set of hands. You might want to have a squeaky toy or something else to catch his attention and get the light back into his eyes. Above all, be realistic about what your dog can handle. Some Pugs are content to sit and be photographed without a problem, but others can only take photo sessions in very small doses. You know your dog and can make the right choices.
It is understandable that owners would want to get great Pug pictures. Pugs have terrific personalities and it is wonderful when that personality shows through in photographs. If you remember to get close to your pet for the photo, and down at his level, you will be more successful at getting a photo you will like. Your Pug will stand out.
Your Pug will stand out. Be sure to put your pooch in front of the right coloring of background - a dark one for a light Pug, and a lighter one for a darker Pug - and not cluttered, but simple. You will probably want to have a helper on hand to entertain your Pug and keep him focused and alert while you’re running the camera.
If your Pug doesn’t do well with long photo sessions, keep them to a length your pup can handle, and have more than one if you need to. Work with the personality of your Pug, and you will have much better results.
