Dogs, Cats, Horses, Livestock

Photographing animals can also be a challenge. It can be difficult to capture an animal with the natural look and pose that is so familiar to the owner. It takes patience, experience and an eye for the right moment. For instance, getting a show horse in a position to show off its best features takes timing and preparation. In animals, the eyes convey their emotion. Whether being excited, relaxed, intense or at ease, the best results are achieved when the photographer captures the emotion through their eyes. The following photos of animals are some examples of the shots which were described above. Click on any image to see a larger preview in a new window.
