Hi there !

Here's a tutorial explaining the way I take my rats photos, I hope it can be useful to people who would like to take photos of their pets but don't know how to create a "mini-studio".

This is the basic way to take some nice pictures. However you can add some light surfaces (such as white paper, aluminium foil, etc...) to make reflectors to improve the lighting of the scene, use better lightsources, etc...
This tutorial only shows the basic mini-studio anyone can do using a towel, desklamp, chair and other stuff that can be found in every house.

Do not hesitate to ask me if you have any question. I'll try to improve the tutorial as best as I can.

Thank you!

If you use it, I'd love to see the result:aww:
:+fav: and comments are very much appreciated :)

This was extremely helpful. I just couldn't figure out how to get the to stay in one spot so the chair idea was very helpful! Here is one of the many pictures i got. [link] Thank you so much for putting this up!

I'll have to keep this in mind. I've been meaning to try to take some more professional looking photos of my rats.
Do you take your rat out and play with it first to get out some of that extra energy? My rats are insane when I try to take photos. Mostly trying to play with the camera, and trying to make me pick them up. They never seem interested in the set itself, even with their favorite treat.
They love me too much. Haha

By the way I really love your gallery. I just received your 2011 rat calendar, amazing quality. It is so hard to find rat related things. I really hope that some day rats are treated with as much respect as a cat or dog... They have such a bad reputation, and it is so hard to convince people otherwise, even if you tell them all the amazing facts. =(
