I mean where she faces the camera but doesn’t look like you’re choking her (which I sort of am in these because she’d much prefer to chase birds and cats across the street than be a model).
A kind reader lamented that she wanted to see more blog posts by me. Though now I feel sort of like a narcissist, that made me think that maybe other readers might feel the same way, so here’re some photos of one of my beloved dogs. I wanted to show her to you on my newly revised site, but the dear girl wasn’t having it.
Have you had luck shooting great eye-ball-to-lens pictures of your pets?…

My son has told me that dogs dislike cameras, that the lens scares them. I only got photos of my childhood dog with him looking to the side. Still, you photograph well and you are gorgeous! And I also like the posts you write.

Yes, I do find it difficult to capture our pet through my lens.

I have the trick to getting your dog to look into the lens every time and it’s so simple. Hold up his/her favorite treat just above or just below the lens.

The only thing I can think of is to somehow get the treat near the camera. Or, if you can trigger an MP3 remotely that can play a sound that the dog will respond to. My last portrait client had her German shepherd puppy with her. I would make kissy noises to get the dog to look into the lens.
