Whether running toward you, jumping a log or splashing through water, there's something special about photos of dogs in action. While I'm 100% a pet portrait photographer, photographing a client's dog on the run, or taking some photos at an agility trial is a nice change!

However! We know that action photos are NOT easy! It's easy to get really discouraged and feel like you're failing when your photos are blurry or out of focus, no matter what you try.

Here are 5 tips for taking photos of dogs in action, but remember that practise and repeatability are KEY. Hopefully some of these tips will help set you on the path to success with your action photos, but if you're still struggling, make sure you check out the webinar series we're hosting at Inspawration Photography throughout 2024, with Chris van Riel.

Chris is going to cover EVERYTHING action, from action fundamentals in February (tonight! At 19:00 CET - there's still time to join as I write this!), to sideways action in April, then head on action, an equipment masterclass, editing, and something we haven't decided yet in December!
