Idea from Seth Casteel (charity called One Picture Saves a Life)
Summer of 2013

Obstacles
Getting accepted at a shelter First try: asked shelter in person Second try: through emails
Getting pets’ attention Food, sounds, toys
Time + organization Took too long per visit, could only help one
shelter

Seth’s Workshop
Learned how to approach pets, take good photos Stay ~six feet away Use food/toys to get attention Take pictures outside
tours country to take photos at many shelters
Goal: portray pets as cheerful, not sad/behind a cage

More Tips
Dogs Burst mode on camera Surprises/noises only work once – get
picture during moment Low aperture number for blurred
background (if camera has manual control)
Fast shutter speed freezes action
Cats Usually indoors (light bulb + umbrella =
good lighting) Usually respond to toys
