Rebekah Nemethy is a fellow animal rescue podcaster. She hosts My Rescue Rocks, now in its second season. Rebekah shares her story as an artist and podcaster, her spectacular photography, some photography tips, and a number of inspiring animal rescue stories.   Rebekah Nemethy's Photography Tips Whether you want to believe it or not, each pet's photo is marketing. Sad marketing often leads to pity, and not adoptions. Here are some tips to keep your rescue dogs looking happy and help them get adopted. Never show a pet in a metal enclosure and try to avoid chain link fences if possible too. These elements give the psychological impression of a prison which is associated with bad behavior. We don't want to strengthen the bad dog stereotype. Always take the dog to a happy place, in the grass, on a piece of comfy furniture, even up against a plain old wall will be a huge improvement over any kind of crate or cage. A last resort I use is the over-the-shoulder pose, if there is no decent photo location at your facility, have someone hold the dog over their shoulder with their back to you, you can easily use a bright blue sky or a plain wall, indoors or outdoors, as a simple background. Get their happy face on! You want your pups panting with their ears perked. Why? Because a dog with his tongue out most resembles a smile to our simple human brains, and the perky ears give the viewer the impression that he is interested, curious, or playful. Who doesn't love a good head tilt? You won't always be able to get all three of these ideal gestures (tongue out, perky ears, head tilt) in every shot, but you sure can try. Play with the dog before you take his photo, if he's running around chasing a ball he's sure to be smiling afterwards. Have an arsenal of silly sounds at your disposal. I always carry a squeaker, a clicker, and I've got my Donald duck voice down pat. I also have a giant bag of treats and I've been known to take the bag out and shake it over my camera. Dogs with floppy ears really look 100% happier with their ears up, so personally that's what I go for in every shot. Dogs with cropped ears look nicer with a smile. I totally advocate dressing up dogs too. Cheap scarves, flowers, bow ties, etc., can be found at your local craft store. Not only do dogs in costume stand out, but in my mind they also give the dog some credit for having a decent temperament. I wouldn't let someone take photos of me in antlers! Use text overlays for names, quotes, and captions to grab attention. Put the dog's name on the photo, give him a thought bubble and write something cute about what he's thinking inside. If you use Photoshop you can find inexpensive overlays that are pre-made, but there are tons of free apps out there that will allow you to add your own text or stickers to a photo. If you're not tech savvy then you can make physical signs and posters for dogs to wear or stand next to. Get creative, do silly things, and stand out! Lighting is a topic I could write a book about, but I'm going to keep things simple for the beginners out there. Never use on camera flash, just turn it off. Unless you have experience with off camera lighting or you can control the direction of your flash, I recommend you use natural light whenever possible. Inside, you should turn off all the lights and use natural light through windows. Outside, on a sunny day, make sure you situate your rescue pups either fully in the sun or fully in the shade, not, for example, under a tree where there's splotchy light. Overcast days, however, are the easiest lighting conditions to get great photos outdoors. Just make sure the sun is at your back, even on overcast days. Be aware that these tips are coming from me directly and not from HeARTs Speak. As a member, I highly recommend anyone interested in shelter photography go get the HeARTs Speak Field Guide to learn more about the technical aspects of shelter photography, studio lighting, post processing, working with cats and dogs, and how to best promote pets on social media. There is no other guide out there like it.  http://heartsspeak.org/store/products/shelter-photography-field-guide/ HeARTs Speak application window for Perfect Exposure Project grants Also, right now through March 31st, HeARTs Speak is accepting applications from shelters interested in participating in the 2016 Perfect Exposure Project. This is for open admission shelters only and a limited number of grants will be given out, but if your shelter is chosen HeARTs Speak will provide a free 2-day workshop AND donate a camera and lighting equipment to keep the great photos rolling out.

Today’s featured guest is Rebekah Nemethy - Pet and Product Photographer Rebekah and her business Reflective Photos began as a photography career with weddings and after doing one she knew it wasn’t her calling for her photography. After some exploration in different areas of this visual art Rebekah found her stride in pet photography. Aside from her pet photography Rebekah has been with the photography department at Consumer Reports for the past 5 years. Good take away's from this episode: Transparency! be clear about the details with your clients. It is easy to be caught up in the big picture stuff. "You're only as good as your last photo." - making new work will always lead to improvements and the lack of attempts for better work is only settling. Small an manageable goal will be of great practice for the big ones but they will also be the building blocks for what you may one day call success.  My path to pet photography was definitely not on a straight, high-speed highway; I took the back roads and got lost several times along the way. I think, in the back of my mind, I always knew I wanted to be a photographer. In my junior year of high school I learned to shoot, develop, & process black and white film. Those were the days before Photoshop became my dark room of choice. In college, I decided to major in the visual arts with a focus in photography, which went well until I started to think about what I would focus my career on. I thought that weddings would be the most lucrative and sensible career choice… actually I figured it would be my only choice because I knew everything at 19. It was during my second year of college that a friend who was getting married asked me to shoot her wedding. It was the first wedding I ever attended, the last wedding I ever photographed, and the straw that broke the photographer’s back. I switched my major to journalism within the year. I wrongly assumed that if I didn’t want to do weddings, I’d never make it as a successful photographer. Like I said, I was 19 and I knew everything! After diligently studying the New York Times, I had my first news quiz in my Journalism I class. I think I got a 30 (yes out of 100), totally embarrassed myself by disputing one of the answers and revealing my total ignorance of common geography, went to my car after class, and cried. Journalism was not for me. Nevertheless, I toughed it out for the next two years and got my degree. I tried to write for a while after college. I even started an online literary magazine with a friend of mine. Then I tried to make some money writing online articles, but the writing went painfully slow and I was still working as a waitress and bartender to pay the bills. I became desperate to find a career that I would love to wake up to, but I knew I had to make money too. That’s when I found my camera again. I mean, it had been there all along, and had even evolved to a digital body… but this was when I started to look at it as an opportunity once again. I printed up 50 fliers about my soon to come portfolio building month: free photo sessions in June only. Although the flier said I would shoot babies, kids, couples, families, and dogs, (everything but weddings) I found myself handing them out at dog parks. Before I knew it my portfolio was barking at me! So I guess I can’t really say I decided to get into this line of work… but I decided I needed a job I could love… and this is where my heart took me. I will continue to let it lead the way! Recommended Resources: The Photo Forum Eneloop Batteries  w: reflectivephotos.net  blog: reflectivephotos.net/blog
