How to Photograph a Rabbit

How to Photograph a Rabbit

The main challenges with rabbits are their speed and their height. Getting low and working during their calm hours solves most of it.

Shoot at floor level

Lie or crouch right down so the camera is at the rabbit's eye height. A top-down rabbit photo loses the face and ears.

Work during calm periods

Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk. A mid-morning or afternoon session catches them more settled and photographable.

Use a treat to steady them

A piece of herb or leafy green held near the lens gets a few seconds of stillness and a forward look.
