I am an absolute beginner when it comes to photography. I recently received a fairly nice mirrorless digital camera and wanted to make use of it for creating adoption profiles for my foster cats. Those of you who photograph pets for a living: do you have any tips?

In addition to the pet-specific aspects: Learn the basics of photography first. Practice also on easier, stationary subjects. It’s easier to figure out your framing and such when you don’t have to time an expression or follow motion.

Creative Live, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning among others have good courses. YouTube will require sifting through the people who don’t know what they’re doing. Search terms might include “getting started with photography”, “intro to photography” etc.

Create post

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
