If you’ve ever wanted to create stronger, more emotional portraits of dogs and the people who love them, this workshop is for you.
Join Maine PPA and Travis Patenaude for a full-day, hands-on Pets + People workshop focused on creating meaningful dog and human portraits using simple, dramatic low-key lighting.
You’ll work with real dogs, real people, and real moments while learning:
• Dog body language + safer session flow
• Natural posing for everyday clients
• One to three light setups
• Story-driven prompts for genuine connection
• Guided live shooting
• A full editing walkthrough you can revisit later
Whether you photograph pets regularly or just want to feel more confident when dogs show up during sessions, you’ll leave with practical skills you can use immediately.
Lunch is included, the class takes place at the University of Maine, and afterward we’ll head to Family Dog for dinner and relaxed hangout time with Travis.
Only 4 spots remain.
