# How to photograph your dog for Halloween Paws AI

> Better source photos make better Halloween, Easter, Christmas, and New Year portraits.

## Shoot for the face

- Get close enough that the head and shoulders fill most of the frame.
- Use daylight or a lamp in front of your dog, not a bright window behind them.
- Wait for open eyes and a recognizable expression.
- Skip other pets, toys held over the face, and heavy social-media filters.

## Good Halloween starting points

- A sitting pose on the floor or porch.
- A three-quarter angle if your dog hates facing the camera.
- A photo you already love — the AI should dress the dog you have.

## Intensity cheat sheet

- Subtle: keep the living room, add a hint of autumn.
- Medium: a portrait you would print.
- Dramatic: full pumpkin patch or costume set.
