Assignment 28 - Animals

This photography assignment will show us how to take better photos of our animal friends. From pets to livestock to wild animals, animals are a favorite subject of photographers around the world. While there are a lot of things about animal photography that are the same as human portraiture, there are other issues that are different. The biggest difference is safety. Animals can be unpredictable, and safety precautions should always be taken to prevent harm to the photographer and animal. The following lessons will guide you to great animal photographs. I look forward to seeing your entries for photography assignment animals!
