Feedback

The popularity of dog sports has exploded over the last decade! And where there are dog sports, there are photographers eager to capture those competitive moments forever. For challenge number 4 of Empower, we were joined by specialist dog sports photographer and educator Amy Godfrey Johnson.

We've stripped it back for the Sports Star challenge, Asking our students to capture the peak moment of action and only allowing for global editing adjustments, no removal of elements or distractions. Images must have been captured at an official sprint event or event practice session.

As always, we were blown away with the submissions. Our top 10 images all display animals at peak moments during the depicted sprint events. Congratulations to the photographers and a huge thank to Amy for creating this fantastic Empower challenge.

Challenge Brief

For this challenge, your image must depict a pet performing a common official sporting activity. The image may be captured at an official event, or crafted during a practice session. As this is an action challenge, the image must be caught at the peak of the action with excellent expression.
