Online Basic Dog Photography Course at Dog Portrait

Advertorial – This article contains advertisements for my own online basic dog photography course, which I offer through my company Dog Portrait.

Many of you probably already know this, but in addition to this blog, I am also a dog photographer by profession. As such, I have been giving workshops and courses on location for almost ten years, and for a few years now also online. Over the past few months I have been working hard on a new online Basic Dog Photography Course. Because I am very proud of it, I am putting it in the spotlight here on the blog! At the moment, the course is only available in Dutch, but I am reviewing options for translation.

Online Basic Dog Photography Course

In 2019 I started creating an online course for the first time, then hosted directly on my website. This spring I decided to make a new version, completely updated and expanded. A kind of version 2.0, so to speak. I have created this with a special host for courses, who also offer their own app. This means students of the course can now also follow the course in the app, super handy!

I have created eight modules, containing several chapters that (I think) cover the entire basics of photographing dogs:

• Intro, with program selection, file format and the built-in light meter
• Exposure triangle, about aperture, shutter speed and ISO
• White balance, focus and composition
• Before you start photographing, about communication, recognizing stress and using tools
• Seeing and using light, about studio photography, natural light, and photographing dark/light dogs
• Shooting action
• Post-processing in Photoshop and Lightroom
• Conclusion, with a portfolio review

In my opinion, all in all it is a very extensive course, which, as mentioned before, I am very proud of! Moreover, I have made a great online community, where questions can be asked and assignments can be shared. I will reward active participants in the community with a nice little gift every month, to further promote participation in the community. Cool, right?

Again, the course is only available in Dutch at the moment, but I am reviewing options for translation into English in the future.
