When I was little, it remained an unchanged dream to one day work with dogs. A very ambitious idea in a young kid's mind, which eventually turned into a recurring thought until, I found a way to make it possible.
Fast forward a few years, ‘The Pet Photography Studio’ was founded.
‘The Pet Photography Studio’ is a fruitful result of my love for animals and my professional photography career that began almost a decade ago. For me, it's all about capturing the perfect shot of your little friend, which does justice to their kind souls. The studio was established to create the finest works of animal portraiture and archival quality prints for your living and work spaces.
It is important to know that it's much more than being able to click a good picture of a pet. Getting a great portrait starts before I've even met the animal. A questionnaire is sent to the client, which gives me an insight into the life and personality of their pet. That way I can tailor my approach to make sure that images I am capturing reflect the character and soul of their lovable fur kid.
At the beginning of every session, I spend some time letting the pet get used to me and my equipment. I need to make sure that it feels relaxed and confident around me. I need to bond with my furry clients quickly, but genuinely! I want them to love me; there is no way you can capture the essence of their soul if they aren't looking at you with pure love!
I have completed quite a few pet obedience and training certificate courses; which have definitely helped me to get along with pups easily and make them do things that I want them to do. There’re a lot of treats, praises, and cuddles involved here (well, this continues throughout the session)!
Once I start photographing, my approach really depends on the individual. For instance, if they are confident and very interested in me, then I will immediately focus on capturing dynamic close-up portraits. If they are more interested in exploring landscape, then I'll focus on capturing wider environmental portraits and wait until they have settled in, before I attempt to move in closer. For portraits with that amazing eye contact and perked up ears, there's often a lot of ridiculously silly noises from me.
However, my approach with cats is completely different; with cats I work very slowly, starting farther away and gradually moving in closer (or using a telephoto lens) as a cat becomes familiar with me.
Here are a few pet photography tips for pet owners to capture more fur and less blur…
1 USE A FAST SHUTTER SPEED, CONTINUOUS FOCUS, AND BURST MODE.

Happiness AT FIFTEEN
Winter was setting in last month… It was joyous to see Sikander and Tango, who were nearing their 15th birthday, run and play in the park; their frolicking is always followed by a silent prayer in my heart asking God for giving them more opportunities to enjoy life! They have helped me remain intact in the most difficult situations. Just a few months back it was another story…

THE STORM OF SEPSIS – FAQS, DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF SEPSIS
Sepsis occurs when certain bacterial chemicals are released in the bloodstream to fight an infection triggering inflammation throughout the body. Septicemia occurs when a bacterial infection occurring elsewhere in the body, such as the lungs, Uterus, etc., enters the bloodstream. This is an extremely serious and dangerous condition because the bacteria and their toxins can be carried throughout the bloodstream to your entire body. This can trigger a cascade of changes that leads to damage of multiple organ systems, leading to organ failure, sometimes even resulting in death.

My Special Cat
Most of us have had that special cat—a heart cat with whom we had a deep connection. It may have been the cat we had as a child, or the one that saw us through a troubled time, or one with whom we bonded as we exhibited at cat shows. Whether the cat found us or we sought it out, those connections cannot be denied. These are the stories of some of those special cats and what they mean or meant to us.

So, choosing the right tree for your cat can take some thought.
