But before you start a pet photography business there are a few things that you will need to keep in mind. Remember, you cannot simply start a pet business because you like animals. There is much more to it than that. And if you want to be successful at what you are doing you will need to be the best of the best.

Before you start your pet photography business look into the market that you live in. There are two things in particular that you should look at. First off, are there enough people in your area that will want to use your service? Obviously, the bigger the city you live in the better your chances are of garnering a lot of business. You will also want to make sure that you do not have a lot of competition in this industry. If there is already an established pet photography business in your area you may want to reconsider where you open up shop. This is a specialized niche and if somebody has already tapped into it you may have a hard time grabbing a share of the market.

To have a successful pet photography business you need to be good at taking pictures. That is the bottom line. If you do not have the skills to take top notch photos nobody is going to pay for your services. In addition, you will need to have the necessary equipment in order to be a success in this industry. This can cost a lot of money but it is something that you need to have to move to the top of the industry.

And speaking of expenses, a good pet photography business has a professional atmosphere in which clients can bring their pets. You will need to have a space to do this, as well as different props and backdrops. Plus, keeping the area clean is an absolute must if you are going to be having pets in and out all day long. Giving off a good sense of professionalism is a great way to garner repeat and referral clients.

Overall, a pet photography business is a great way to make money in an industry that is interesting. If you love pets and have a knack for photography, you should look into this industry right away. Who knows, you may carve out a niche in your area and garner more clients than you ever thought possible.

· Have a decent camera.
· Know how to use it.
· Have an eye for detail and colour.
· Be ready to grab an opportunity when it presents itself.

If you happen to be driving through the hills of Scotland and come across a lone piper (or even two), grab that camera. Watch for sunsets, moonrise, cloud formations and tree shapes. Keep a sharp eye on your pet for unusual poses, and visit your florist every so often. Flower pictures are surely many photographers’ bread and butter and they can be photographed in the light on your windowsill. Greeting card markets love photos of flowers, gardens and pets doing something unusual. Wildlife and nature are great for calendars and geographic magazines and educational markets.

Diversity is the keyword for topics in photography. The wider the range of topics you cover, the more likely you will be to get a sale. Anyone can make a good living from stock photos. Freelance photographer Lee Frost (UK) sells just as many photos taken from his own backyard as from exotic and far-flung locations. In fact he sold a pic of the dandelions in his garden to a natural health book. But if you love travelling, put your holidays to work for you. Travel guides, brochures and websites could be possible markets for your photos.

So what to do with that fantastic shot? The edges are sharp enough to cut with, while the clarity would bring tears of joy to many publishers. The main thing to aim for with any photo is to sell it to multiple markets. This is taken care of if you submit to a photo library. You don’t have to be responsible for selling your own stuff then, but since the word is ‘diversify’ aim to do both. Offer it to non-competing markets over several years, since you are not selling the copyright.

It is important for any photographer to keep a portfolio of his work to show. You never know when you’ll meet a prospective buyer who wants to look at your work and they will not be impressed if you have to rummage through a dusty desk to scrape them together. When you do score a sale, don’t charge a pittance just because the picture only took a few minutes of your time. You’ve spent years learning your craft and your photos are worth a decent figure.

If you really know what you are talking about and can take a fantastic shot, think of submitting it to a photographic magazine, along with all the details of the precise equipment you used and a step-by step account of your procedure. A bit of a challenge maybe, but worth the effort. There are many other markets to consider too; all kind of magazines, newspapers, catalogues, travel brochures and books. So grab that camera and start shooting.

It is a fact, when purchasing anything especially over the Internet, having a photograph goes a long way in the decision process on moving forward on that purchase.

This brings me to my point that having regular size snapshots of something of interest is good, but having a panoramic view is even better.  Let’s look at the real estate arena as to where this can really hold true.  Often time real estate agents will go into a home that is for sale and will take a few photos and present the photos along with any legal written description in hopes of engaging potential buyers to buy the property.  With the use of the Internet in today’s real estate marketing, some time the problem with these small photos are that they do not tell the whole story of the property, and at times will leave potential buyers dissatisfied and the desire to move on to the next house.  This also holds true for home owners that have property for rent, weather it is long term or short term vacation rentals.  Real estate for sale or for rent should be presented in a way that makes the viewers see themselves in that house enjoying all that the property have to offer.

 Having a lot of small photos of a large area often shows that area in a disjointed fashion and do not give the viewer a true feeling of the area.

Take for example a large back yard with a pool, long patio with patio furniture and a jungle gym play area for the kids.  Generally at least three different photos would be taken to show all the areas. Now if that same area was presented in one panoramic photograph, the viewer would get a better sense of the area and realize the actual size of the large area.  Go to http://www.activevirtualtours.com to see examples.

For property sale or rentals, having good panoramic photos can make the difference and especially when they are presented in a good virtual tour format.  Some virtual tours are simple slide shows of small photos, but a good virtual tour will give a view of the property as it is and not a fish eyed view. The viewer would have the ability to actually go from room to room, inside and outside the house and even things of interest in the surrounding areas of the property.

Pictures are a vital part of our everyday business on the Internet, and so photos that have more details all inclusive are always good to have.  When it is appropriate to use virtual tours as a presentation tool, it will make those photos even better.   

If standard size photos are worth a thousand words, then panoramic photos are worth ten thousand. 

Expand your view, go panoramic!
