In this week's video tutorial I show how easy it is to use flash lighting to take fun, creative portraits of your pet at home. I show how I use a paper backdrop, how I pose my cat and get him into the positions I want, along with how I use my lighting and my camera's aperture and shutter speed settings to take greatlooking images.

Finally, I show how I edit the images in Lightroom and Photoshop, including adjusting the exposure, editing the colors to desaturate the background and to remove objects and distracting elements from the scene. I also show how I use masking to enhance the image further.

I've genuinely really enjoyed taking these images and they're easily some of my favorite photos of my cat that I've ever taken. They're so easy to do but the results are amazing. If you're struggling to stay creative in the winter months but you've got a pet wandering around, it's time to put them to work!
