Some tips to take piggie pictures:
* Always try and aim for being at the same eye level; it makes the piggies more comfy too.
*Try and aim to center the piggie and not cut off feet, "shave" bums or heads unless you want a close-up.
More tips:
* Give them a treat to nibble on. Don't feed the whole lot at once; you can get better photos if
you hide some food to have them go and find it. It's a lot of fun for them too. The piggies will love it and they will come
over to talk to you and cuddle you.
* Enjoy the occasion by rewarding them with a nice rub!

In case you do a picture-setting shoot:
* Get the setting ready first: add a light if needed, a towel (in case piggie pee and poop is eminent),
and some veggies.
* Set up a comfy seat for you to put yourself in the best camera position. If possible, use a piggie-guard
helper (because your hands are clung to the camera and they can jump or run or hurt themselves).
* Put them into an enclosed area, so running away is more difficult.
* Put something of interest for them nearby, something that they do not see often: their natural
curiosity will slow them down and they will take cute poses: sniffing, nibbling, chewing, munching, bumping.
All of this preparation will provide the piggies with a comfy, relaxed, and safe setting. And the
piggies will have a ball sniffing, hiding, munching, and exploring too! You will have the most amazing photos you can dream
of!
