Overview

My best teachers in learning to photograph pets like cats, dogs and horses have been the animals themselves.'' –Che Vienes

The trouble of photographing small pets and large companion animals comes from our inability to communicate with them, and their often unpredictable nature.

This 3 hour easy to understand online class is for you if you have a cat, a dog or a horse.

This is for you, if you are keen on showing the true beauty and meaningful life of pets along with humans.

If you want to master how to create timeless images and stories of people with their companion animals.

This is for you if you want to discover the art of pet photography and wanted to learn how to dramatically increase the quality of your pictures. If you wanted to help or transmit awareness for pets and animal care through photography.

Sharing the tricks of the trade. Discussions of composition and style. And help you develop your perspective on how to capture pets with a heartfelt and memorable way.

Pets or the other companion animals play a big part in many lives so it’s no surprise that pet photography will become more popular than ever. This is for you if you wanted to capture true love.
