One of the first things you learn when you want to become a pet photographer is finding the proper location. It really depends on the type of animal you want to take pictures of so you have to plan the location in advance. If you are taking shots of playful kittens that cannot sit in one place, taking photos of them in a wide garden with lots of plush toys and various colors balls of yarn is maybe the best way to go about it. Also as small kittens love flowers, a garden full of pretty flowers will go well too. It is important that the surroundings are colorful so that you can really bring out the cuteness in the pet you are taking a picture of.

Each animal has a distinct personality and also each animal race is different from another. You need to find the best setting for the pet you are taking a shot of so that there is a perfect contrast and also a perfect balance between the animal and the background to photograph.
