Yay! The summer is back it’s that ritual reminder our Models Direct team loves to extend to owners of our pet modelling super squad, our star pets, to get your furry friend’s ePortfolio ready for summer fun!
Summer is a per-fect time to spend quality time with your cutie and enjoy pet animal photography in the summer sun. It’s fun and rewarding, and a great way to capture the beauty and personality of your cuddly companion for clients to see when they’re looking for a pet model. If you’re looking for some photography inspo, you’ve come to the right page. Keep scrolling to find out more regardless of what species your animal is.
Your pet’s unique traits
Is there anything in particular that sticks out about your pet? Maybe your feline loves rolling on its back often? Or maybe your canine can pull cute expressions? Whatever their quirks are, try your best to capture those moments (we know it’s challenging with pets) but do try! The result will be so worth it for their pet modelling portfolio.
Revv up your shutter speed
Pets can move super fast so to keep up with their swift movements, use a fast shutter speed to freeze all the action. The shutter speed is equipped to avoid blurry or out-of-focus snapshots so try it out.

Instead of hanging around at the top with an almost bird’s eye view perspective, meet your animal model at their eye level to capture the world through their eyes to create more appealing images of your lovable sidekick.
It’s treats and toys time
Sparingly use treats and toys to capture your adorable star pet’s attention. They will encourage them to bring out another side of them – a playful, inquisitive side. Be patient and calm, and grab that camera ready to snap up some super cute pet pics.
Teach your pet a new skill
It’s not just humans who benefit from learning new skills, our animal counterparts do too. The summer weather encourages us to do more than we might in the winter period so take some time out to teach your precious pet a new skill or trick. Whether it’s obedience or agility training, or perhaps learning a new game, these activities can provide mental stimulation for your pet which you can snap and upload to their ePortfolio.
Be patient and calm
Enjoy the process of creating a charming collection of new images for your darling pet this season. It can be challenging so be patient and stay calm, but most of all, have lots of fun! Let us know how you get on! We’re looking forward to seeing your pet’s new images.
