Lifestyle Dog Photography
“Glad to see you've made it this far! It has been an honor for me that you have chosen this course to be able to take better photos of your dog. I hope it has met and exceeded your expectations. In the course we have been able to see how to work with dogs, how to prepare them for the session and what we have to take into account to make the experience as pleasant as possible. We have seen how to choose your own style thanks to the light, the colors and the type of locations. I also told you about the importance of creating a good mood board and with which profiles to inspire us, what materials to use and how to prepare both the mobile phone and the camera to take photos with the highest possible quality. You have learned how to light and frame to get different types of photos, and you have seen how I work, how I do street style canine. And finally, I have shown you how I select and retouch the photos and how I get the most out of the feed of Instagram. The most important thing to face the final project is to be very patient with your dog, take it easy and prepare the photos before taking them. Remember that you don't have to choose the same type of light, colors or locations to achieve the objective of the course, which is a homogeneous feed of Instagram, much more professional and with your own style. Take two or three photos in different locations or frames, of a dog alone or with a person or family ... you decide. Upload to the forum the steps you have followed to make one of them and the final result. Also show me a screenshot of how it has been your feed Instagram with photos you've gone up. We are going to review the steps to make your project: Prepare your photo Choose your canine and human models, select a style that defines you and a color palette. Remember the importance of preparing the photo very well before the session. Use a diffused light and play with the frames following my advice.
