You can not pose undomesticated animals per say, but you can capture the moment but it seems they pose.
Much the same principles apply when photographing animals as it does for humans. Keep these basics in mind when photographing animals

1) Eye contact is important, but not always necessary. In some cases, constitute a visual contact with an animal works. In my opinion, this kind of position is equivalent a traditional formal portrait. When the workstation, the body position is natural and shows the whole body.

2) The framework that surrounds it is also important. If a couple of background textures and colors that complement the animals and the establishment would be perfect! Thus, animals and the environment (bottom) contain visual unity.

3) flash the camera is full of shadows and enhances the appearance of humans and animals. Take a picture with the flash and to in the shade and near the body of the animal. Now, take another photo without the flash. Without the flash, part of the animal's face darkens and shadows are not as pleasing to the eye. The shadows tell us the size and shape of an object. Normally, if the shadow can add to the beauty forms.

4) point of view the prospects can make or break a photo. Sometimes the shot does not work for years in animals and other times. Photographers have to make adjustments for each situation. While maintaining eye contact with an animal, as well as with people, animals should not strain your neck to look at you (or camera). Make sure that the installation of the animal is not disturbing to the eye. The animal should consider the case the shape and nature.

Basically, make sure the animal is happy and relaxed. Look down too. Sometimes all you have to do is move to the next few steps to get vaccinated memorable! (Revised 15/02/2006)
