Behind the Scenes: My Pet Photography Process

My photography process is really just 10% tech and 90% dog-whispering. Whether I'm setting up in a retail store for a commercial shoot or in your living room for a family portrait, the goal is the same: keep the pet happy.

How I Set Up the Magic

I use Godox AD600PRO strobes with softboxes, which gives you that clean, high-end commercial look without the harsh glare that scares sensitive pups.

Here is how a typical shoot day goes down:

• The Warm-up: I never start by shoving a lens in a pet's face. We start with belly rubs, sniffing the gear, and maybe a few treats.
• The Studio: I bring solid paper backdrops to your location, turning any room into a professional studio. This works wonders for product shots and clean, editorial-style portraits.
• The Action: For active dogs, I use high-speed sync to freeze movement—perfect for when your doggo decides to do a zoomie in the middle of a pose.
• The Bond: I’m constantly chatting with the 'hoomans' too, because your energy dictates the pet's energy. If you're relaxed, they're relaxed.

I’ve shot everything from high-end apparel campaigns to simple backyard portraits across cities like Pune, Bengaluru, and the NCR. If you are worried about your pet not sitting still, don't be. My job is to find the shot within the chaos, not to force them into rigid poses.
