Walter Chandoha. Dogs. Photographs 1941-1991

The world seems to be divided between cat and dog lovers, but luckily Walter Chandoha, the greatest pet photographer of the 20th century, finds himself happily in the middle. He loved these fascinating creatures as much for their unique beauty and individualism as he did as subjects to photograph in a career spanning more than 70 years. The author, sadly, passed away in 2019 at the age of 98, but his legacy lives on in this delightful sequel dedicated to man's best friend. "Walter Chandoha's photographs of dogs are compelling not only because dogs have an inherent charm, but also because the man behind the camera was a master of his craft," writes photography critic Jean Dykstra in the book's introduction. We see terriers, collies, beagles, bloodhounds, poodles, small dogs, large dogs, show dogs, working dogs and many more, represented by more than 60 breeds photographed in black and white and color. The book is a relaxed photographic tribute to these lovable and human-loyal creatures.
