About the event
Working with the amazing Zoe Spooner ( from Zoe's Happy Hounds ) we will be photographing 3-4 perfectly behaved and adorable dogs both at speed on the beach and in floral adorned repose in the studio.
This is a lighthearted photo session where you will learn new skills for shooting animals; add in some floral arrangements and make a creative composited masterpiece in Photoshop.
Bring your laptop and a solid understanding of Photoshop layers. We will teach extraction ( cutting out ) blending modes, shadows, brushes and textures and prepare to print. There will be an opportunity to print at A4 size to take home a hard copy of your work.
By days end, whilst sipping on a glass of champers, we will display your images anonymously on our monitor and have a critique and discussion session with an expert reviewer.
