Pet Photography with Fred Levy

Lights, camera, woof!

Get your treats and squeaker ready—we’re taking photos of dogs! In this class you'll learn to apply the concepts of portrait photography (with some unique differences) to our four-legged friends. You’ll get down to their level and learn to deal with some of the challenges of pet photography, while learning new ways to use your camera.

In this intermediate level class, learn how to capture the best photographs of pets, from making sure your model (and their owner) enjoys the experience, to catching that perfect combination of pose, lighting, and background. You’ll need some technical skill, a positive attitude—and maybe some string cheese.

Leading this workshop is professional photographer and pet whisperer, Fred Levy, with over 20 years of experience. You can see some of his pet photos in his successful book “The Black Dogs Project” and check out more of Fred’s work here.
