Hi Roxanne!
I'm a bit late to the party but I wanted to offer to send you one of our Shelter Photography Field Guides if you're interested. You can email me at caitlin@heartsspeak.org and I'd be happy to set up a little care package of resources. We also offer shelter photography onsite training through our Perfect Exposure Project and I'll link to some other videos and resources as well -- happy to discuss any of those options or ideas!

Subject: How do you improve animals' profile pictures?
Who has tips on how to take the best profile pictures for animals? Does anyone know of specific trainings/classes/webinars on this topic? Do you have specific cameras, lighting tools, backdrops, or strategies to get a great picture upon intake (or shortly after)? Our animals' intake pictures always end up making them look fearful, anti-social, or overly shy, when most of the time that is not representative of their personality! I think an established procedure for taking intake pictures could help improve quality control of our pictures and boost adoptability from their very first day with us! Any resources, tips, SOPs, templates, or product/tool suggestions appreciated! :)
