Take your pet photography skills to the next level!
Join National Camera for a 3-hour pet photography workshop at a studio in Minneapolis, sponsored by Tamron. Led by NCE educator and professional photographer Becky Clark, the workshop begins with a presentation and live demo, followed by hands-on shooting in small groups across two studio bays. Becky and NCE photo experts will offer guidance throughout. Tamron rep Eric Sives and tech rep Armando Flores will also be on hand with loaner gear, so you can try different lenses and get advice on the best lens options for pet and studio photography.
Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or a pet lover looking to sharpen your skills, this is a great chance to practice, ask questions, and walk away with real images for your portfolio. Plus, each attendee takes home a full-color, spiral-bound workshop guide to keep exploring pet photography after the workshop ends.
