Dog Photography Walk

About the event

Spring has blossomed early so what a great time to go for a photo walk around the gardens!

Join me for a casual photo walk at Yarralumla where I'll go through some basic practical tips and techniques on photographing dogs as well as tips on how to work with dogs.

There won't be a formal structure, however I'll be going through basic principles of pet photography and you'll be able to practice as I'll have one or two dog models coming along. 

Any photographers of all ages and levels of experience are welcome to attend, however having a basic understanding of how to navigate your camera will be useful. It's also a great way to talk about dogs and photography with a likeminded group, meet cute dogs and learn to take better photos of your own dog.

 

Please don't bring your dogs to this photo walk as we'll have one or two dogs that I will be bringing who will be our model. 

 

Note: The event will be reschedule in the event of rain. Notice will be provided at least 12 hours prior to the event.
