Professional photographer Tiffany Warner explains how to capture better spontaneous photographs of animals.
Animals are always fun to photograph. In this instance, I was surprised by a kangaroo, so I spoke to it in a soft tone and went to retrieve my phone. When I returned, the kangaroo was still there.
The best way to photograph animals is at eye level. While continuing to talk softly to the kangaroo, I held my phone up to match its eye level. I didn’t have much time to plan the shot – time was of the essence – but using the phone’s Portrait mode would have added depth of field (blur) to improve the image.
💡 Tip: Try getting to the eye level of animals your photograph.
Happy snapping!
