Flying over the sea

Discdog performance by a koolie (the dog breed) and her owner Sara in the water. I took this photo in Canada in the water at very early morning. I find this picture so motivating for all those people that must fight hard in life like this dog has to fly jumping outside the water to catch the disc!

About Artist

Claudio Piccoli

I'm Claudio, I'm from a beautiful village in Italy called Ivrea. I have a border collie called Leep who is 9 years old right now. I trained her myself and she comes with me in my Workshops whenever I can bring her. I'm a professional photographer specialised in "dogs in action" photography. I'm also a Nikon Ambassador for Italy and a Nikon School Master. I also collaborated to create the "Master di Fotografia" with Corriere della Sera, Gazzetta dello Sport and Nikon. I got into dog photography thanks to the passion for dogs that was born first. Then, the photography arrived and year after year I discovered how much I could improve my life and my photography spending time and working with dogs. Because it's not as easy as it seems, I decided to share all my knowledge with photography workshops all over the World. I turned my hobby and passion into a career and I believe it is my purpose in life to teach others and to try and help dogs in need along the way. I want the people that attend my workshops to understand how big is the world behind dog photography, especially in action and how rewarding it in regards to their life and their own job. Every photo is a different story and I always put all my energy into every shooting and in editing to portray the dog as the best dog ever. I want all the people that will see the photo, to admire how amazing the dog is. I spend a lot of time thinking and doing new photography projects and travelling a lot. I also won several awards in big International photography contests like America Photography,Oasis or SIPA and I had many publications on media, magazines, newspapers all over the World. I also opened two online school dedicated to Dogs in Action Photography www.dogsinaction.com and Dog Photography Masters www.dogphotographymasters.com Inside these school my passion is helping you find clarity, purpose, and fulfilment in all aspects of life. I work closely with people to help them to identify and overcome obstacles that are holding them back from achieving their goals. I take a holistic approach, addressing both the practical and emotional aspects of your challenges. My coaching style is supportive, compassionate, and empowering, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their innermost thoughts and feelings. My own journey as a coach began from improving my life as main goal. Since then, I've completely believed in dogs and what we can do with them with business and real life and have helped countless clients achieve their goals and transform their lives. In addition to my work as a life coach, I'm also passionate about mountains hiking with dogs in all periods of the year. My belief is that a well-rounded life is key to achieving balance and happiness, and I strive to incorporate these values into my coaching practice. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.
