You can read a thousand books about a good shot, buy equipment, set the light, and still nothing will work, because your pet flatly refuses to pose. Or you can take a completely random shot on your phone and it will be quite good.
My friend’s pets chose the location for themselves where they were ready to be photographed. And I have to admit that they did it quite well.
As for the location, this is also funny, because you can buy the most expensive houses or beds, but your cat or dog will choose... a cardboard box.
Recently a new puppy arrived at my friend's house. While waiting for a house for her, my friend made her a house out of a cardboard box. And what do you think? Now there's real competition for this place! Everyone wants to sleep in this cardboard house!
It's actually very funny to see that just like people, animals have their own tastes and preferences. What seems cool to us may not be appreciated by them. It's not even a question of price or quality. My dogs get a lot of different toys, but if they manage to steal an empty plastic bottle they are absolutely happy😁
