Before and Afters / The importance of good shelter pet photography really comes to light when you compare before and after pictures side by side.
More ideas from One Picture Saves
Cats like Lilly can be mysterious, but if you have patience you will make sure to get a picture with a unique moment of expression.
It is really important to use good lighting when working with a black cat like Lava. You want to make sure you aren't under harsh lights, so there is no glare, but you also don't want to hide and features as in this "before" picture.
It is really important to use color photography so potential adopters don't miss important features. Kisses here has a beautiful calico coat, but you would never know from the "before" picture.

Sometimes, a big dog like Kado may look tough, but we know they really aren't. Try running around larger dogs to get them panting--it looks like smiling in pictures.
Use elements of nature whenever possible. A nice green backdrop is much more inviting than metal bars and a steel kennel, and will make an adopter want to take Grady home.

It is important to remove all negative elements in your pet pictures. Donut in a kennel makes adoption look like a negative experience, and it's not!

6 tips for taking better pet pictures from 'Underwater Dogs' photographer Seth Casteel

Positive photos are the key to adoption. Bones is much more likely to get adopted if he is smiling than if he looks scared.
A headshot allows potential adopters to connect with the pet's eyes. In the before shot, Bailey's features are hidden by bright sun, and she isn't looking at the camera.
