Geing the Most Out of is Book
First, you might be asking yourself, “Who is this book intended for?” I wrote this book for passionate
hobbyists and professional pet photographers alike; those with a lile technical knowledge and a lot of
desire to make great photos of your own pets or those belonging to clients. My goal is for this book to
be just as valuable for the professional pet photographer as it is for those practicing pet photography as
a hobby.



Chapter 1 provides an overview of the history of pet photography and the modern day inuencers. If
you are super passionate about pet photography and are either involved in the industry as a professional
or hope to make it a career, you’ll enjoy taking a read through this, and you’ll probably learn something
new about the industry.



If you already have all of the equipment you need and are happy with how it performs, with no plans to
upgrade, you can skip over Chapter 2, which covers the equipment you need to do a great job capturing
pet photos. You might want to take a read through the lens section, nonetheless, because it provides
some detailed information on the advantages and disadvantages of using certain lenses for pet photography.
If you are a casual shooter, never fear, I talk about “prosumer” (translation: aordable) cameras
that will get the job done, and I explain that you don’t need fancy gear to create beautiful images.
