Pet Photography

Pets enrich our lives and are valued members of the family. How many families do you know that have at least one pet? How many pets do you have in your family? Most people start out photographing their own animals. There is probably a look or expression your pet has that makes you smile. It might be a slight tilt of the head they exhibit when you say certain words, it might be a soulful look that melts your heart or it might even be a display of attitude that makes you chuckle. This course will teach you how to capture those moments in a heartfelt and memorable way.

Photographing and working with animals can be challenging but it is also fun and extremely rewarding. This course will cover photographing animals in a variety of settings using both natural light and studio lighting.

If you do not have strobes, you can complete lesson 3 and all the lessons using only natural light. Please feel free to contact jill@visualharmonyphotography.com if you have any questions.
