August
August 18 - Live Masterclass - Make Your Dog "POP!" Using Contrasts
Join us live online to learn how to make your dog “pop”. Pet photographers are always coming to me wondering how they can make their dog pop out of their photos more… and the answer?
Contrasts.
I don’t just mean adjusting the contrast slider!
In this workshop – which will go for 1-2 hours – we will dive into all the different kinds of contrasts available in our photos, and how we can make use of them to help our dog pop, common pitfalls and mistakes, and specific techniques for black dogs, white dogs and more.
The webinar WILL be recorded, so even if you can’t attend live, you will have lifetime access to the recording within approx 72 hours.
Note: this webinar is included in the Learning Journey. Pro members can join live, Standard members will have access to the recording.

Split into two groups: Group A goes into Trier city with Meir, and Group B goes to the mossy woods with Emily.
Day 3:
Group A meets Emily in the woods, Group B meets Meir in Trier. The practical session will last approx 2 hours.
Return for Inspawration HQ for editing.

This product is for the deposit only. The total cost of the full 3 day workshop will be €600.
Spaces are limited to 12 people. This keeps the groups small for the practical portion.
