Taking a Great Pet Photo
How to Get a Pet to Look at the Camera
You don't need the pet to hold a pose. You need one frame where the face is clear and turned toward you, and a few reliable tricks get you there.
Make a new sound
An unfamiliar squeak, whistle, or word gets a head tilt and a look. Familiar sounds like their name often get ignored after the first try.
Hold a treat by the lens
A treat or toy right next to the phone pulls the eyeline straight to the camera. Reward quickly so the pet stays willing.
Shoot in burst
Hold the shutter and pick the best frame afterward. Trying to time a single tap to a moving animal wastes the good moments.
