Create a beautiful, high-contrast portrait of your cat or dog using a window and a black backdrop in this DIY studio photography class.

We'll cover:

How to best utilize window light
Positioning and adjusting your backdrop setup
Camera settings for success
Keeping your cat or dog's attention
Working quickly to capture several great shots

I'll be photographing 2 cats and 1 dog in two different homes so you can see how this setup might work in your space.
