Pet Photography Photo Walk At The North Carolina Art Museum

ABOUT THE EVENT

Join Joanne Wetzel, Professional Dog Photographer, for a beautiful afternoon Pet Photography photo walk at the North Carolina Museum Of Art. This photo walk is designed for anyone interested in capturing the beauty of their own pets or our dog models.

Whether you use a smartphone or a more advanced camera, this event will provide you with easy-to-follow photography tips to enhance your ability to document everyday moments with your dog.

During our walk, I'll offer advice on basic settings, natural light, recommendations for working with dogs, composition, and more.

We’ll also have one or two dog models along, so you’ll get plenty of practice and see firsthand how to make the most of the stunning afternoon light.

This photo walk is a fantastic opportunity for dog lovers to connect, exchange photography tips, and enjoy all of the unique beauty the art museum has to offer.

PHOTO WALK HIGHLIGHTS

- Casual vibe - we are all just there to learn and grow!

- Great for all photography levels

- No specific camera equipment required; bring what you have!

- Connect with fellow photography and dog lovers

- Gain practice with your camera on photographing dogs in natural light

INCLEMENT WEATHER / CANCELLATION POLICY

This event is weather dependent and will be rescheduled if it rains. If for some reason, you are unable to make it, please let us know ASAP. Refunds will not be given for no-shows.

TECHNIQUES COVERED

No formal techniques will be covered, but Joanne will be happy to answer questions and make suggestions

WHAT TO BRING

- No specific camera equipment required; bring what you have! If bringing a camera, fully charged batteries and empty memory cards

- Dress for the weather; often times when working with pets, we are laying on the ground, traipsing through meadows and woods, and just generally getting dirty!

August Foster Photo Day

If you have a foster that needs a bit more marketing and a photo refresh, then this is the perfect opportunity for you!

We offer complimentary 20-minute photo session to fosters from various rescues across the Triangle.

From the session, your foster will receive 5-10 high-quality digital images for use on their online profile and for marketing on social media.

All we ask in return is for lots of sloppy kisses and snuggles (and to be credited on social media where possible!).

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE REGISTERING: we give priority to long term fosters, fosters with medical or behavioral needs, seniors, and only-pet fosters.
