The Creative Dog Photographer Retreat is all about coming together to explore creativity, push boundaries, and bring artistic visions to life.

This is not your typical workshop or portfolio day — it’s a unique blend of both. Together, we’ll experiment, exchange ideas, and dive deep into what makes truly magical dog photography.

Over several days in the breathtaking landscapes of Austria, we’ll have 7–8 organized photo sessions with a variety of dogs in some of the country’s most stunning locations — from crystal-clear lakes and cascading waterfalls to enchanting forests and sweeping mountain views. And yes, I’ll even take you to a few of my secret favorite spots.

The retreat is designed to give you the freedom to create and explore — without the pressure of client work. We’ll develop concepts together, refine compositions, and discuss why certain choices make sense for each scene. You’ll have the chance to try out new ideas, experiment with light and perspective, and challenge yourself creatively.

 I’ll share my most valuable tips and insights — from how I approach each location to how I use light to create atmosphere and emotion. We’ll review, discuss, and edit our images together, learning from each other’s perspectives in an open, supportive environment.

If you’ve been craving a space to reconnect with your creativity, to shoot just for the love of it, and to be inspired by both nature and like-minded photographers — this retreat is for you.

Your Wishes Are Welcome

We will shape our sessions together. Before the retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to share your personal wishes or photography dreams — for example, a specific dog breed or a certain look you’ve always wanted to photograph. I will do my best to organize suitable dogs so that we can bring those ideas to life during the retreat. This way, the experience becomes truly personal and meaningful for each participant.
