Pet Photography

Have you ever tried to catch your pet in a photo but didn’t get the result you were looking for? You finally manage to get your sweet puppy to sit still in front of you but before you can snap a picture his attraction is elsewhere and so is he! Working with animals asks a lot of us. You need respect and patience in animal photography…not to mention endurance and perseverance. When you add all of these ingredients up, imagine the beauty you can create as a remembrance of your furry friend.

After having worked in a profession that did not suit her, Jolanda Boekhout started researching her passion and began following several photography classes. During the process she gave up her job and, because animals have been her love and passion since she was a little girl, she started working as a volunteer at an animal shelter. That’s where Jolanda discovered that her love for animals and her connection with them gave her something special, the ability to get really close with a camera. Five years ago Jolanda found her passion as an animal photographer.

“My aim is to tell the story of the animals I photograph by creating
images that make sure that their presence on earth will be remembered,
hoping my photos will be the paw print that animals leave behind.”
– Jolanda Boekhout

It is important to capture the moments of joy, the silly habits, the soul of your pet and the love that is shared between you and your pet. With the ability to capture these moments you will be able to look back with love to the time you spent with your pet, either in class or in real-life. Does this sound inviting to you? Sign up and learn to look at your pet through a new lens.

Important information about Self-Paced Projects at Big Picture Classes!
Self-Paced Projects are instant download classes that allow you to participate at BPC anytime! These classes are different from our interactive workshops. There are no starting or ending dates -- you may enroll at any time. This flexibility also means, that there will not be the level of teacher and student interaction that we enjoy in our workshops. You will receive handouts to print and an audio file to listen to, but there are typically no message boards or chats.

Even though these classes offer less interaction, you are not alone! If you need help, email us at admin@bigpictureclasses.com. Enjoy!
