Clients love seeing cute before and after shots of their dog once a visit to the groomer is complete. Intimidated by the thought of taking pictures that clients will see? Don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t have to be a professional photographer to capture some great shots of your work! In this post, we\u2019ll tell you exactly what you need to know!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a given that you should invest in a good camera if you want to take beautiful photos. But make sure that you aren\u2019t just spending all your time messing with the settings on your camera. Pets can be difficult to photograph, especially if you are relatively unfamiliar with them.

The main purpose of \u201cbefore\u201d shots is to document a pet\u2019s appearance before you\u2019ve had a chance to work your magic on it. So make sure you work your angles. Take photos from the front, sides, rear, and top angles to show off the complete look of the dog before you\u2019ve groomed it. And remember, the same angles must be replicated in the after shots!<\/p>\n<p>A huge difference in \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d photos is always impressive. But that doesn\u2019t mean you should be manipulating your images for dramatic effect! Not only will your clients appreciate your honesty, but you\u2019ll also benefit from accurate pictures of your work, too. Reviewing your work, especially in the early stages of your pet grooming career, can help you sharpen up your grooming skills.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"After\"><\/span>After:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAfter\u201d photos are taken after all of the services have been completed.

The texture and colors of the coat will stand out more than if you simply wipe out detail with an obstructive flash.<\/p>\n<p>If you do decide to use flash, just be prepared for an awkward subject. Most dogs do not like the harsh glare of a flash! They may close their eyes or look away! And while it is possible to use flash, make sure that when you do, you do not aim the flash directly at a dog. Use an external speedlight with a diffuser as direct flash can startle and frighten even the most complacent of pets. Also, keep in mind that flash will often reflect off of a pet\u2019s retina, resulting in everyone favorite looks: \u201cred-eye\u201d or glowing \u201claser eyes.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Focus on the pet\u2019s eyes<\/h3>\n<p>What better feature to focus on than the eyes, the most expressive part of the face? Not only does it make for more interesting portraits, but showing off some happy canine clients will engage potential clients! Especially if a dog has just had painful matted knots removed during the grooming session, honing in on the eyes can show just how happy and relieved he is. Just make sure that the eyes are not the sole focus of the shot.
