Getting Cute Photos Of Your Pug

Pug owners are like most dog owners, they’d like to have photos of their pet. It can be fun to upload cute pictures of your pet to sites online that welcome photos of pets, or of Pugs particularly, and see what photos others have posted of their Pugs. There are many sites online specifically for that purpose.

Pugs happen to be particularly cute with their little size, wrinkled face, and soulful eyes, and so it seems natural to want to photograph them. They also have plenty of personality, like when they do clever things to try to get attention from their owners or others. It’s natural to want to take pictures of all the cuteness. With some preparation ahead of time, the Pug owner will have much more of a chance of success. The natural traits of the Pug, like their short attention span, will have less of a chance of wrecking the photo session and frustrating the pet owner.
Consider carefully your setting. Be sure your Pug doesn’t get lost in the background. A lighter colored Pug looks great in front of green foliage, a black Pug better in front of something light, perhaps a homemade backdrop. Above all, avoid a busy scene that would take attention away from your prime focus, the Pug. If you plan to take the photos outside, early morning or late afternoon are the best times. Also, be close to your dog, and down at his level. The photo will not come out as well if the dog is a small spot in the middle of the frame, shot from high above. Being close will give you much better details, including the expression on your Pug’s face and in his eyes. Being down on his level will help him focus on you.

Have a squeaky toy or food handy to help maintain his attention. You know your pet, use what will keep him alert but not tempt him to jump up and run over to you. Be patient and work with your dog’s personality, and remember it isn’t realistic to expect a hyper puppy to sit for long. Having a helper can make photo shoots easier.
Pugs are so cute it is natural for owners to want to take really good Pug pictures. But getting a good photograph of your Pug may be a challenge, given that a Pug has a short attention span. If you follow some basic hints, you have a better chance of getting some good shots, especially if you take several photos. Remember, put your Pug in a place where he will show up (not among a lot of other distractions), get down to Pug level, and move in close to catch that adorable expression and light in your Pug’s eye. Try to maintain his attention. Hard, I know, but doable even if it has to be in just little chunks of photo time. Having an assistant can definitely help your Pug be on his best behavior. If all else fails, take some shots of your Pug asleep, a sure fire win in the cute contest!

There are quite a few tricks that can make getting Pug pictures much less frustrating. With the proper preparation and Pug information, photography can be a pleasure.
