Animal Portraits photo Project is so similar with Sharon Montrose’s ‘’Little Darlings’’ series. The only thing is Morten Koldby’s animals are more mature ones.
Morten Koldby is the founder of Morten Koldby Photography which was established in 2009. The company is based in Denmark, but a great deal of our projects and clients requires a vast amount of travelling.

Capturing Souls: The Art of Outstanding Animal Portraits
When it comes to capturing pet portraits, a good photograph goes beyond a cute pose. It’s about capturing the essence and personality of our beloved companions. And with a few simple techniques, anyone can create stunning animal portraits that tell a story.
First off, patience is key. Animals, just like people, have moods. The most impressive portraits of pets capture the subject in a relaxed and natural state. Rather than forcing your pet into a specific pose, let them get comfortable with the camera. Over time, they will start to act naturally, allowing you to snap the perfect shot.
Lighting plays a significant role in pet photography. Natural light is always the best option. However, shooting during the golden hour can give your pictures a warm and magical glow. Avoid using flash as it can frighten the animals and create unnatural shadows.
One technique unique to animal portraits is to shoot at their eye level. This brings the viewer directly into the pet’s world and creates an intimate portrait. Eyes are the window to the soul, and this holds for animals too. Focus on the eyes and let them tell a story.
Finally, practice makes perfect. Each animal is unique, with different likes, dislikes, and quirks. Spending time with the animal, getting to know them, and understanding their behavior can guide you in creating that perfect shot.
Capturing the perfect pet portrait isn’t an overnight success. It requires patience, understanding, and a whole lot of love. But when done right, you get more than just a picture. You get a lasting memory, a window into their soul, something truly special that you can treasure forever.
