Join Nadia Hall of Barking Dog Images for an action-packed, full-day workshop where you'll learn how to capture dog sports! Whether you’re a dog sports competitor turned photographer, or a seasoned pro looking to experience this exciting niche, this hands-on workshop will teach you the fundamentals of dog sport photography—from mastering camera settings for indoor action to anticipating canine movement. We will learn about techniques that apply to capturing all dogs in action, but you will also gain sport-specific knowledge, like how to pick your shooting viewpoint for an agility course. Dog models will gladly show off their skills for you to get valuable practice time in the ring; a rare opportunity for the dog sport photographer!
