What Makes a Great Agility Photo?

Big, dramatic action shots are always popular, but sometimes the photograph that becomes a favorite isn't the most spectacular moment of the run. It's the expression that is unmistakably your dog. It's a familiar ear flying in the wrong direction, the intensity on a dog's face or a moment on course where the team is perfectly in sync.

Photography lets competitors see things that happen far too quickly to notice while they're running the course. And after photographing dog sports for so long, the GreatDanePhotos team is very good at anticipating those moments.

How Do I Pick the Best Photos of My Dog?

GreatDanePhotos only shows customers photographs that meet the team's standards for things like focus, timing and composition. From there, choosing the “best” photograph isn't really a photography question anymore.

Pick the ones that look like your dog.

Maybe that's not the photograph someone else would choose. It doesn't matter. You know the expressions, mannerisms and tiny details that make your dog who they are. Those are often the photographs that mean the most. And they're the ones that belong on your wall.
