Not all your subjects will be people, they can be animals and plants and even buildings.
I chose two of the many pictures I have of my dog named Coco, on the left, and my bird Paulie, on the right. Both animals are extremely different, for instance Coco is a mammal and Paulie is whatever birds are; but when it comes to shooting them I chose two different places for my two very different subjects. Coco is a very hyper dog who is friendly and loves to play, so I chose outside; even if her personality doesn't show my dog is still a very good model, whenever I take my camera out she poses and looks at it and smiles. On the other hand my bird, was one of the hardest subjects I ever tried to take photographs of. I put my bird on the chandelier in my dining room and my bird almost flew away, but instead for one moment in time it turned its head and looked directly at the camera giving me this great shot! With both my subjects I played with something in particular; for my dog I played with lighting, I made sure it was bright and that she would totally be in her element meanwhile for my bird I took him out of his element and played with focus since my bird is so small and I wanted to make sure my subject could be seen and would be the only thing someone would see when they look at my photograph.
