Dog Photography on Location: Master Posing, Action & Client Experience

See Jen Hillenga live at Imaging USA 2026!

Learn how New York City dog photographer Jen Hillenga masters posing, action, and client experience during a real on-location dog photography session in Central Park.

This video covers how to work with different dog temperaments, select quiet locations, manage distractions, photograph safely on leash, and capture both posed portraits and dynamic action shots. Jen also shares her lens choices, camera settings, use of animal eye autofocus, exposure compensation, and how she photographs with album sales and storytelling in mind.

This is a practical, session-based workflow designed for photographers who want to create meaningful images and a strong client experience.
