Local dog photographer becomes the UK’s first certified Dog Photography Master | ASCOT, BERKSHIRE and PIVERONE, ITALY (July 13th, 2021) – Millers Image Limited, the Ascot and Windsor based specialist dog photographers, announced today the official certification of Chris Miller as the UK’s first certified Dog Photography Master. After six months of training, examination, and certification, Chris received his formal recognition from the Dog Photography School’s founder and Master, Claudio Piccoli.
"I want the people that attend my workshops to understand how huge the world is behind dog photography, especially dogs in action. Every photo is a different story and I always put all of my energy in the shooting and in editing to make each dog as the best dog ever. I want all the people that will see the picture, to admire how amazing that dog is,” Piccoli said.
After delivering many workshops around the world, Piccoli decided to develop a curriculum for students to study and graduate as a Dog Photography Master. With 30 different interactive lectures, he shared all of his experiences and secrets, with the sole objective of creating a cohort of Dog Photography Masters around the world. The school launched in January 2021, and the first group are now graduating. Chris Miller, who works with his wife Sue in Millers Image Limited, was confirmed by Piccoli as being the first in the UK to achieve the Master certification.
“Chris’ level of dog photography was already well liked by his clients. Through intense training, exercises, and advanced editing techniques, he has moved to a whole new level and Chris truly deserves his certification as the UK’s first Dog Photography Master and I am proud to have him now in my register of worldwide Masters https://www.claudiopiccoli.com/dogphotographymasters ,“ Piccoli confirmed.
“Claudio has been known for years in our industry as being one of the world’s top dog photographers, and the absolute master in dogs in action photography,” said Miller. “Learning from Claudio directly every week for six months is intense, but so rewarding, in terms of the results but also in life and the job too. Our clients are already telling us how much they love the unique style we are developing as a Master.”
