Add movement, personality and vivid colour to your images with non-toxic, washable pet photography colour powder.
A burst of pet photography powder can make a run, shake or jump more dramatic on camera, adding texture and energy without distracting from the subject. Choose one shade to complement the setting or combine colours for a bolder result that reflects the character of the shoot.
Our powders are made from food-grade ingredients and are designed to wash away, making them a practical choice for carefully managed pet photography.
Select colours that will stand apart from the animal’s coat and your backdrop, keep the powder away from the eyes and mouth, and introduce it gradually so the animal remains comfortable throughout the session.

Choose a familiar setting, allow time for the pet to settle and introduce the powder gradually rather than creating a large burst immediately. A handler should remain close by, with treats, water and regular breaks available throughout the session.
Contrast is usually more important than choosing the brightest shade. Select colours that stand apart from the pet’s coat, the backdrop and the surroundings, and test a small amount under the planned lighting before the main shoot.
Our colour powder is designed to be washable – use it outdoors or in a protected studio area, brush away loose powder first and clean clothing, props and backdrops promptly after the session.
The quantity depends on the number of animals, the length of the session and whether you want a light dusting or repeated action shots. For a studio day or several subjects, allow extra powder for test shots and repeat takes; the Festive Colours team can advise on larger requirements.
