Our lovely pet friends make our lives more worth living, we are happier and more relaxed around them. But we are not really different from our ancestors and descendents, it is in human nature to live in a loving community with other species and we, animal lovers, know this. So, from the beginning of what we call human societies pets have been given the important role in everyday lives. Not only as helpful and useful animals, humans have always enjoyed the company of animals. How can we prove this statement? Well, pet portraits exist and can be found in caves from the stone ages. Of course, as the skill and technique developed, similar changes happened to those primitive and naive pet portraits.
Nowadays, pets inspire and motivate many artists and are used as are models and subjects of many paintings, artistic photographs and sculptures. It is not hard to understand this – both the artists and pet owners like the idea to capture some moments and save the memory of their loving companions. So, pet portraits are more popular than ever before because they sometimes can express the soul and personality of our pets more than simple photography. Of course, professional photographers specialized in animal photography are well trained and competent to take beautiful breathless shots with pets as the main subjects showing them playing, sleeping, eating and doing all those regular things that make us adore them.
