Tip one is to be prepared. The more you are prepared to take your Shar Pei pictures, the better the pictures will turn out. If you’re organized, you can focus on your dog and on getting the best possible pictures instead of worrying about petty details. Before you bring your Shar Pei into the process, get out all the cameras you’re going to use. Check the memory cards and batteries in each camera and have several sets of fresh batteries nearby. Choose the area where you will take your pictures, and gather any backdrops or props you want to use. Have some dog treats on hand to reward your dog for sitting and staying.

You need at least one extra set of hands to manage your Shar Pei, comb its coat, wipe its eyes, arrange the backdrops around it, and watch out for its safety, especially if you are taking your Shar Pei pictures out of doors.
Tip four is to use props. Props can make your Shar Pei pictures special. Props are especially important when you are taking pictures of a puppy, and you want to emphasize the dog’s youth and small size. Colorful dog toys are popular choices for props, as are stuffed animals, oversize shoes and potted flowers.
