National Geographic star and award-winning Kaylee Greer shows you how to create out-of-this-world photos that capture the heart and soul of a dog in her vibrant book Dogtography.

If you want to learn to create pictures that truly capture a dog’s personality—whether that’s playful, cute, whimsical, shy, goofy, strong, or beautiful—you’ve come to the right place. If you’re a professional photographer looking to up your game or an amateur who just wants to take better pictures of your best bud, Dogtography is your guide to capturing jaw-dropping photographs that are filled with heart and soul. And there is no better teacher than Kaylee Greer, a widely published commercial photographer who teaches pet photography workshops around the world and is host of Nat Geo Wild’s “Pupparazzi,” an original television series that focuses on her life and career.

Dogtography is packed with great information and—just like Kaylee and her photographs—an infectious personality. In this book, you’ll learn all of Kaylee’s hard-earned tricks of the trade, including her camera settings, lens choices, and how she picks great locations. You’ll also learn all about:

• Getting the best expressions and poses during a shoot

• How to create a great action shot

• Techniques for finding your style and enhancing your creativity
