Do you have an interest in photographing dogs and own a digital SLR camera?

Nick is now available for one -to-one training sessions. If you are struggling to capture that perfect shot of your dog Nick will take you through the basics of setting up your camera and the techniques involved in capturing that special image. Each session can be tailor made to suit your requirements. The minimum session is 1 hour and the cost is £70 for the first hour, thereafter £45 per hour. Dogs and handlers will be supplied.

Following the huge success of the 2008 / 2009 courses Nick will be offering three one day group training courses during 2010. Unlike some other advertised dog photography courses we can offer a selection of well trained dogs and a hands on experience with the UK's leading dog photographer.

Here are just a few comments from 2008 course participants...

"Nick - just to re-iterate what I said in "class" - your style of teaching us in terms of approachability, patience, hands on experience, technical/creative balance and humour was second to none."

"The workshop gave a good insight in photographing dogs and given the weather conditions showed some of the challenges faced and how to work through them!  Your style of teaching was very much suited to my way of learning, I thoroughly enjoyed it."

"I wanted to say thank you so much for the course last week, it's the most fun I've had in ages and taught me so much.  I have attached a few low res images from the day, would love to know what you think - I know I have some serious practicing to do, it was much harder than I ever thought it would be!"

"Well what an amazing day you gave us all.... thank you so so much..... "

"Hi Nick. I had absolutely no idea what to expect but was very happy with the day. The venue was great and of course it was so good to have such willing dogs and handlers available to us.I’m sure we were all taking better pictures at the end of the day and now it’s practice, practice, practice"

 

Each day will be held at the Hearing Dogs for Deaf People training center near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and will cover the following subjects:

 Introduction to dog photography.

How to get the best out of your canine model.

Basic portraits.

Capturing the dog in action.

We will have a team of highly trained dogs and handlers available throughout the day and there will be plenty of opportunity to develop your dog photography skills alongside the UK's leading dog photographer. Each course will have a maximum of 12 participants and will be aimed towards both newcomers and experienced photographers. Preferably you will have a sound understanding of your camera equipment and the sessions will be aimed at those photographers that own digital SLR cameras. The majority of the sessions will be held outside so suitable clothing / footwear will be required.

The cost per day is £165 inc VAT and will include a cooked lunch, tea and coffee.
