Aspiring pet photographers or established ones looking to sharpen your creative and business skills, here is a great idea: the Sit! Stay! Learn! Pet Photography Seminar at Imaging USA in San Antonio, Texas on January 15, 2011. The day-long event is taught by three prominent pet photographers, Barbara Breitsameter from Chicago, Teresa Berg from Dallas, and Bev Hollis from northern Virginia. The workshop is an abbreviated version of the three-day Unleashed seminars that the women have taught for the past several years to rave reviews. The intensive Sit! Stay! Learn! program will focus on lighting, shooting techniques, sales strategies, and marketing.
I am a big fan of these photographers' work, and think it's a terrific idea to learn from three experts with different styles and strengths.
If you can't make it to the seminar in San Antonio, here is another option: the ladies have created a handy wire-bound flip book called Dog Shots, Tips & Tricks for Pet Photographers. It features helpful hints, inspiration, and 30 favorite set ups and exposures. The authors call it "the next best thing to having us in your camera bag."
