Join us for a unique and exciting three-part workshop designed to help you grow your skills and build your portfolio. You’ll learn key techniques for photographing pets, working with various backgrounds and lighting setups, and creating expressive, eye-catching pet portraits. Led by NCE educator and professional photographer Becky Clark-Dullinger and sponsored by Tamron.
Part 1: Online Seminar // Thursday, May 15th // 6-7:30pm
In the first part of the workshop, we’ll host an online seminar with NCE educator and professional photographer Becky Clark-Dullinger, where she will cover general knowledge on pet photography and provide tips and tricks to help you capture stunning images of your furry friends. From camera settings to composition, you’ll learn the fundamentals of pet photography from the comfort of your own home.
The seminar portion of this event will roughly cover the first hour, and we will wrap up with a Q&A portion at the end—be sure to bring your questions!
Part 2: Hands-On Workshop // Saturday, May 17th // 1:30-4pm
In the second part of the workshop, we’ll meet in person at a studio in NE Minneapolis where you’ll have the opportunity to put what you learned from the online seminar into practice. Becky, along with photography experts from National Camera, will be on hand to provide personalized guidance as you photograph a variety of adorable pets. Each attendee will take home a full-color, spiral-bound workshop guide, filled with key techniques and expert tips to continue exploring pet photography beyond the workshop.
Plus! Tamron will be providing loaner lenses during the hands-on portion of the workshop for you to try out. Please note that all camera brands are welcome and you are encouraged to bring your personal gear.
Part 3: Online Image Review // Tuesday, May 20th // 6-7:30pm
