Before & After Examples
These photos are comparisons, showing the kinds of photos you (might) be taking now, compared to the kinds of photos you could be taking by the end of the course. Not in terms of editing, because the editing on these photos is quite basic, and able to be done on most programs, but in terms of the behind-the-camera elements of the images. Some photos have been submitted by students.
What our students are saying
The "Improve Your Pet Photography" course give you all the fundamentals you need to succeed in pet photography. Everything in the course is thoughtful, easy to understand and so beautifully made. You get to follow these lessions with beautiful photos, clear videos and amazing graphics. I actually don't think you can find another course like this with so much thinking, time and love behind it. It was a true game changer for me and the photos I take now are so much better, so much more thoughtful and has a meaning, all thanks to Emily and her courses!
I was pretty new to photography when I signed up for Emily's Improve your Pet Photography, and Lightroom for Pet Photography courses. I have found the lessons thorough and engaging, and have noticed a real difference in how my photos are turning out. I find myself really thinking about things like composition and lighting in a new and better way. I also find I am better able to get the settings and focus correct each time. Before going through Emily's lightroom course, I was using presets, and couldn't put my finger on why I wasn't happy with all of my images. I've learned so much about colour balance, and 'bending the light' and will never use another preset again. I'm finding editing photos so much fun. I would 100% reccomend Emily's courses to anyone who wants to learn and improve their pet photography
Prior to taking this course I taught myself photography by trial and error, and always wondered why some photos had such great impact and others really didn’t. Emily’s insight taught me a huge amount about all the little details I could tweak to get better photos, whether that was why my images weren’t pin sharp, why the composition wasn’t working or the best ways to work with lighting for my little black dog. A lot gets covered with lovely visual examples, and gets you thinking more deliberately about how and where you shoot. This course is amazing whether you’re just starting or you have experience and want to fine tune your in-camera process!
I love the “Improve Your Pet Photography” course from Emily. It has helped me understand light and how to use it to my advantage. The course also taught me how to improve my action shots and composition. I see such a large difference in my SOOCs and overall photographs since this course. I feel like I have more of an understanding of all the elements of a photograph and how to make them all come together into an image I enjoy.
I started taking photos of my dogs last year and had hardly an idea of what I‘m doing, I put my dogs to a location took a few pictures and that was it. When I went through the „Improve your Pet Photography“ course of Emily, I‘ve learnt so much not only about how to use my camera but also how to use light in the correct way to make my photos look better. It was very helpful for me and made it much easier to use my camera in the right way and to position my dogs when thinking about composition. In all the lessons of this course pictures serve as examples and videos help to understand the theory and explanations. It makes much more fun now going out with my dogs taking photos and actually knowing what to look for and what to do.
I decided to take the courses offered by Emily (Inspawration Photography) because I often felt held back in my photography and wanted to understand where I was going wrong and how I could improve. The "Improve your pet photography" course was incredibly helpful in allowing me to understand how important light can be for our image. It has made me braver in shooting in different lighting conditions and experimenting with it. I feel much more confident now when I shoot backlight now than I was 2 months ago! I have also become much more attentive to my surroundings when walking my dog, always looking for interesting shapes created by nature! I cannot recommend this course enough! You will not regret it!

I signed up for Emily's Improve your Pet Photography, and Lightroom for Pet Photography courses and I can’t even find the words to tell you how much I loved It! The courses helped me so much… I can already see my photography and my editing improving. The courses are well explained and super complete. Emily is amazing at what she does.
When Emily (Insparwation Photography) announced that she was offering the Improve your Pet Photography course in a membership, I didn't hesitate for a second.
You really learn everything, but really everything. From camera settings, editing, use of light and also how to choose the location.
I can really recommend this, you will not regret it and it is well worth your money

FAQ
Yes! Maybe even moreso than if you have a fancy camera! Because there are some limitations when using phone cameras, knowing about using natural light, composing your scene, getting the right perspective, and even basic editing techniques will be much more important in creating stunning photos.
Definitely. I cover the most important camera settings in the course, from focus settings to getting off auto or priority modes, and into manual mode for complete control.
Yes! There are suggestions and advice for dogs without a stay and puppies, as well as a complete “stay” lesson and a bonus lesson to edit out a leash, just incase you need to leave your pup on leash.
Actually I’ve never been asked this but I’m pre-empting the question. Of course you can! Many (if not all) of the concepts apply to other animals. Using natural light, perspective, composition, even getting expression, can be applied to the majority of our animal companions.
Maybe not snakes.
Or turtles.
I designed this course with you in mind.
And I know I could show you hundreds of examples of much more fancy, stunning photos that I’ve taken… but that isn’t the point here. The point is mastering some foundation skills, to drastically improve your images.
