Jeffrey Snyder

I can’t praise you folks at Capital Photography Center and Professional Photographer Jeff Snyder enough for providing such a thoroughly enjoyable workshop. Jeff could not have been more organized as to when/where to take me at Laurel Park to get the best shots or just generally nicer throughout the day. I so enjoyed myself and would recommend this workshop to anyone. It’s worth every penny and then some! It was a truly unique opportunity to spend the day with Jeff. Through his press pass, he provided incredible access to every aspect of the horse races. And yes, the ground does shake as the horses go by! I haven't had so much fun in a long time. Thank you, Jeff and Capital Photography, for a great day.

Thank you so much for the time at the races! It was fun to see some of the behind the scenes of this world totally unknown to me before yesterday. I can’t wait to go back!

It was a delightful day at the races. Jeff began by showing me the room inside where the photographers work, and then outside where the photographers spend most of their time alongside the track. During the class we shot 9 races at either the race start, or the approaching turn, or the following turn, or head on, or the finish line, and the winners circle, and the Paddock. Jeff's face is so well known, that when he shouts a compliment to a still-mounted winner, he gets an interesting response to record. Since the track is not open to the public, without Jeff I would not have been allowed to cross the track for another perspective. Since the class is limited to just 2 students, it allowed me to keep a low profile within the intimate crowd of owners.
