Spend a day with two PPA award-winning pet photographers and learn how to get started or build your skills photographing dogs in the studio! The first half of this action-packed day will cover everything you need to have a successful studio session. Topics include lighting, equipment, attention-getting, and posing dogs (plus dogs with their people). We will also discuss canine body language and how to manage both the owner and the dog(s) during the session. Presentation of key content, live demonstrations, and hands-on practice for participants will provide a variety of learning experiences.
The second half of the day will cover basic post-processing in LR and then more advanced “correction” techniques in PS such as eye brightening, collar and leash removal, background extensions, tongue shrinkage, and modesty edits. Learn how to use layers and non-destructive editing, and that the patch tool is your new best friend. We will also discuss more advanced head-swapping and compositing concepts. Participants can practice editing techniques on images they shot in the morning.
