Piggie Photoshoots

[MemberGWD]

Yesterday I had my first experience with piggie photoshoots! I recently realised that I had no good pictures of any of them, and decided to do something about it. I was expecting it to be a lot more difficult than it was. I simply set up a blanket as a background, sat the piggies in the sunshine and tried taking pictures from different angles, whilst bribing with a few parsley leaves. The results were amazing, and it was great fun!

Does anyone have any tips for getting more pictures? I am already going to try changing the background and maybe adding a few props.

What beautiful piggies, so photogenic!
Tiny hats (no costumes) are always adorable, just make sure there are no straps to make them uncomfortable,
Just place them on their heads!

No suggestions for you. But I'm willing to bet in a high piggy area. A photographer would make a killing.

Lovely photos.

Just to be clear that posting photos of piggies dressed up,or in harness is a branch of forum rules. Hats can be a grey area. So to ensure you don't fall foul of the rules stick to your beautiful piggies in their natural dress.

Your piggies are beautiful

Here is Panda modelling the must-have fashion item for guinea pigs this year - a stunning lacy cloak woven from hay

I love a piggy photoshoot. I ususally put a blanket on the sofa as backgroud, put the pigs on and hope for the best as I take pictures. Often when I do this individually it works best as together they take it in turns to turn around and try to escape. Sometimes the best pics I have got of them have been the random ones where I've aimed the camera and pointed, timing it just right!
