I've done a couple of test shots, with my mom helping out.
I quite like this shot, even if it's a little over exposed and too bright. that can be fixed in photoshop.
My cat's actually very decent to photograph, he's not too fussy, unless he doesn't feel like being photographed, then he just walks off or hides under a pillow.
But, I'm not sure how the pros do it.
Are there any famous photographers who specialize in photographing animals? A google search brings up a lot of studious that specialize in animal photography, but for my portfolio proposal, they want 'famous photographers' names and stuff that I might get inspired by.
I got one so far, Rachael Hale, I've got a couple of her gift books, but the photos she does, are mostly against one color background, I don't actually have a studio to play around with. and cant' really bring my cat to uni to photograph there.
