YOUR INSTRUCTORS
ADAM GOLDBERG
Adam is photographer and visionary behind AGoldPhoto Pet Photography, based in Tampa, Florida. His journey began in 2013 while working at an animal shelter, where he managed social media and swiftly dove into photography, teaching himself through online tutorials to capture engaging portraits of shelter animals—highlighting their personalities to boost adoption chances. His work gained attention at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, leading him and his wife Mary to launch nationwide “Pet Photo Shoot Fundraisers,” raising over $250,000 for more than 50 animal rescues through interactive events, many hosted at breweries. In 2016, Adam formalized his passion into AGoldPhoto, becoming renowned for campaigns like the Pit Bull Picture Project—portrait sessions challenging bias by revealing affectionate sides of misunderstood dogs—featured in Good Housekeeping, ABC, and others.
TRAVIS PATENAUDE
Travis Patenaude, a highly acclaimed dog photographer from Stink-Eye Photography creates unique portraits that foster an emotional connection between the subject and the viewer. He believes emotions and feelings are a vital part of telling stories and has to be put in a form that touches the hearts of people to evoke empathy and to make the viewer want to learn more about these dogs. Travis is an advocate for animal rescue and animal rights, in particular raising awareness for the plight of the hunting dogs of Spain. He has won international awards and has been published across international print, online media, and magazines.
