Howl-O-Ween Dog Photography Workshop at Samy's

Halloween is a good excuse to point a camera at your dog. Samy's Camera is hosting a creative, Halloween-themed dog photography workshop at its Los Angeles store on Fairfax, with photographer Anabel DFlux leading the session. If you are sorting through things to do in Los Angeles before the holiday, this one suits anyone who owns a camera and a patient pet.

When: Friday, October 30, 2026, 11 AM to 1 PM Where: Samy's Camera Los Angeles, 431 S Fairfax Avenue Price: $69.09 Host: Samy's Photo School

What to expect

The event listing describes the class as a Halloween-themed workshop built around creative dog portraits. The promotional images give a clear picture of the style: a dog draped in a ghost sheet against an orange glow, a pup in a striped costume under purple and green light, and a portrait framed by skeleton dog props in red haze. It is staged, colorful, playful work rather than a simple snapshot session.

Expect a practical, hands-on format. Samy's Photo School runs its workshops in the store, so you will be learning in a real photo retail space with gear nearby. Photographers of any experience level who want to try costume, lighting and prop ideas on a four-legged subject are the audience here.

Practical info

The class runs two hours on a Friday morning, so plan around a late-morning start. The listing does not spell out whether you need to bring your own dog or your own camera, so check the ticket page or contact Samy's before you go, especially if you want to bring a pet. Dogs and busy store floors are a lot to coordinate, and the organizer will know best how they are handling it.

The store sits on South Fairfax Avenue, in the middle of the Fairfax corridor. Street parking nearby is posted and time-limited, so give yourself a few extra minutes to find a spot. Rideshare is an easy option if you would rather not circle the block.

Fit it into your Halloween weekend

October 30 lands right before Halloween itself, which makes this a fun warm-up. If you are putting together a list of LA events this weekend, a morning workshop leaves the rest of the day open for pumpkin patches, costume shopping or a dog-friendly walk. You also leave with a handful of fresh ideas to use on your own pet's holiday photos.
