Adam Goldberg with AGoldPhoto Pet Photography taught himself photography and how to work with animals while working at an animal shelter from 2013-2015.
He taught himself using donated Westcott Basics lighting kit and honed his photography skills by practicing for several hours a day, watching tutorials and training shelter volunteers how to get better photos of pets to give them a better chance of getting adopted.
Adam now travels the country full-time hosting Pet Photo Shoot Fundraisers for animal shelters with his wife Mary. He still volunteers his time taking photos of shelter pets to help them find homes.
In Adam’s portfolio, you’ll find photos of dogs, wearing their birthday suits, making goofy faces and trying to catch treats. Adam also takes photos of cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more.
After the Westcott Basics kit, Adam used the Westcott D5, moved up to the Westcott TD6 and now uses the Westcott Solix Bi-Color to capture his subjects.
