Photograph

With a camera and photography skills you can easily become a hero for adoptable animals in Korea!

Shelter animals desperately need someone to see their beauty and showcase it for the world. Volunteer an afternoon at a shelter to take portraits of dogs and cats, then share your photos for adoption profiles and animal shelter galleries. Adopters often decide to go meet their next best friend at a shelter because they've first fallen in love with an adorable photo. And sad to say, the animals with dark, small, blurry unflattering photos get overlooked and have less of a chance of finding forever homes.

To see what a difference good photography makes, check out the American charity Shelter Me Photography, a group of professional pet photographers which does pro bono work for animal shelters in the United States. Take a look at their picture comparisons especially. Watch also this CBS feature about how photographer Teresa Berg's adoption photos increased adoptions at one dachshund rescue by 100%.
