Thread: How to Photograph your MC in 6 easy Steps

Step 1 - Set up a nice little 'scene' and gently place your MC into position. Try to ignore the look of utter disgust at the inconvenience you are causing them.



Step 2 - Suggest to your MC that they may want to relax. Again, ignore the sniffy expression.



Step 3 - Within about 30 seconds, boredom will be setting in. So use a toy to keep them entertained while you take pictures. [NOTE: growing a spare hand is useful at this point]



Step 4 - Remember, getting the toy too close to the camera can result in some lens/paw/claw close encounters.



Step 5 - MC's are adorable, but younger ones in particular can have problems doing two things at once, so be aware that asking them to 'play' and 'show me your tail' at the same time can result in the sort of contortions normally only reserved for those kind of websites!



Step 6 - finally, with a little patience and several hundred wasted photographs later, you might just get one final 'pose' that is somewhere close you wanted 2 hours ago! Even if she has managed to hunch herself into looking like a 3 month old kitten instead of an 8 mth old *sigh*




Good luck to anyone trying to do this

This is so funny! I have spent entire afternoons trying to take one good picture!

Love it, I've just had to try and explain when I am laughing to my OH and laughing even more as I'm trying!!

If you think thats bad, you should see the looks I am getting from across the room now.... it's that 'you are talking about me aren't you' look!


Glad it made you ladies smile though, it was fun doing it ;)

Utterly hilarious. I've given up photographing mine, especially as Poif seems to have lost her beautiful thick coat! I'm assuming that it will get better again soon. :S

That actually made me lol; awesome!
