In loving memory of Jesse & Tom
Wow! The big day has come. My head is spinning with excitement. And I have to pinch myself too to see if I am not dreaming.
My Pet Photography class is online!
I can finally share it with you all: my Pet Photography class is online and registration is open.
Last year Eric & I lost two of our beloved cats, Jesse & Tom. After both heartbreaking moments I dived into my archives to look for good photo’s and frame them. My way of keeping them close.
Since Summer 2010 I am participating in Tracey Clark’s Picture Series classes with Big Picture Classes. Seeing photos of beloved pets from classmates I wished I could share my love for animals and passion for photography somehow.
Is there a combination possible? I got an idea and asked advice from friends. I finally wrote to Big Picture Classes, and the result is online now: The “Pet Photography class”!
If you love your pet as much as I do mine I would like to invite you to have a peek at the class description. And hopefully I can welcome you in the classroom. In the classroom I share how you can take better photos, I tell about how I work as an animal photographer and how the beautiful memory of a sweet pet can be captured for life.
The class is self-paced so you can start whenever you like. And because it is also about enjoying time with your pet it is something that you can do over and over again. Results of the photo shoots with your pet can be posted in the class gallery that I will be visiting as much as possible.
Creating the content of the class was so much fun. If you decide to join me in the classroom I hope you’ll enjoy it too.

Ps You can find a nice surprise on my Facebook page, take a look now!
Hi Jolanda! I have logged in to the pet photography class and am wishing there was some kind of message board to connect with others who also are interested in photographing animals. I realize that BPC may not support a message board for self paced classes. I do not see a link to even email you from the classroom if someone has a question. Also do you have any links you could share with the class members to other animal photography groups that we might join? I’m really looking for more inspiration photos to get me excited about shooting! Where do you look for inspiration for new poses or ideas for shooting pets? I really enjoyed the Picture Inspiration group and would LOVE to find a similar group to inspire me to at least try some photos once a week.
The handouts you provided for the class are great! A good place to start but I feel like I need more! Maybe you could put some of your favorite photos in the gallery and comment on them with some info about how you shot the photo, why you think it is a good photo, etc. Maybe a new photo of yours every week would help the gallery to fill up???
