Pet Photography; Monday, Second Period [07/22].

"Last week," Prompto said, this time sitting on the counter at the shelter as he grinned a little at the students as they came in, "we did a little puppy photography, so it just stands to reason that, this week, we're moving onto the cats. Now, cats are interesting as photography subject, because they're notoriously less inclined to training than dogs are, and, in fact, seem to always have a habit of doing the exact opposite of what they want you to. There's a reason most of the pictures of my own cat are taken when she's sleeping or just tired. Because any other time, it seems, whenever I try to get a shot of her doing something really cute or engaging, she manages to move her head or shift or turn away at just the moment I snap the pic!" He chuckled a little, fondly and shaking his head. "Very different kinds of models, these guys.

"But that doesn't mean it all has to be a crapshoot, either!" he continued, grinning faintly at what he thought was a pretty subtle and clever pun there, as he hop down from the counter. "Today, we're going to talk a little about how to get a feline to fee-line a little more picture perfect!"

With lots and lots of examples as he goes through the tips, as well!

"Really, though, what it boils down to is a lot of patience, a lot of being willing to hit some awkward positions, and a lot of love. Let's break it down a little, and then you guy'll have a chance to try and snag your own cat photos that'll have all the social media platforms going nuts for these adorable little furballs!"

The cats have pretty much full range of the shelter like they own the place, so you don't have to go far to find a subject for your photos! The trick is in getting the actual photo! Oh, and having fun, too!

Fortunately, Arden had actually brought her own model, so she was less worried about waiting for a cat to do something photogenic. She had BD to do that, though she was trying to respect the spirit of the project by getting pics of BD and cats.

And not at all getting distracted by anyo--er, anything else.

Stark was neither laser-focused nor distracted. Well, possibly distracted by adorable cats but that was to be expected. He was a man in search of toe beans to photograph!

While also hoping spending time with other cats wouldn't upset Pancakes.
