Competition winner’s stunning photos with Furreal Photography unveiled

After Lincolnshire Today offered a chance to win a dream photoshoot for your beloved pet with Furreal Photography, the winner’s photos have now come back.

See some of the stunning images below.

Furreal Photography specialises in pets and equines, creating bold and beautiful imagery that’s made to be displayed within the homes of those that recognise the incredible bond we share with our furry (or not so furry, as the case may be) friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lincolnshire Today asked Furreal Photography’s Kirsty for her five top tips for catching that perfect shot:

  1. Focus on the eyes. This will add depth and personality to your images – so make sure they’re in focus!
  2. Keep it fun. A bored pet will result in lack-lustre images. To keep them entertained avoid repeating things too many times, in close succession. Let them have some fun during their impromptu photoshoot and they will be more willing to work with you for longer!
  3. Keep an eye on your background. Avoid busy backgrounds with lots of people or distracting elements. Keeping it simple is the best way to draw the eye to the subject, making a better photo overall.
  4. Shoot at eye level or below. For horses, this is super easy since most are already at eye level or above with us, but if you’re taking photos of dogs, cats or any other animal for that matter, you’re going to want to be sitting or laying flat on the ground to get the best image.
  5. Get their attention just as you’re about to take your photo – but don’t overdo it! Making silly noises is the best way to grab a pet’s attention and get them to look at the camera. Realistically, though, you only have 3 opportunities with these noises before they will ignore it. If you’re lucky, some dogs will give a head tilt for strange noises.
