Photography is an art; many authors have pointed their cameras at landscapes, people, and historic moments. Great photographers such as Elliot Erwitt, Pentti Sammallahti, and Martin Usborne, among others, used to capture ARISTOPERROS in their everyday lives. Below, we will tell you about some photographic works in which dogs are the protagonists of the story.
Sophie Gamand
Sophie Gamand is a French photographer who specializes in ARISTOPERROS. “I photograph dogs in order to understand humans,” says the artist; her aim is to explore the complex dynamics in relationships between human beings and their pets. Her best-known series are ‘Wet Dog’ and ‘Flower Power, Pitbulls of the Revolution’ , works that made her known worldwide.
Elliot Erwitt
Another Street Photographer of American origin, a classic of photography, was a great lover of taking portraits of ARISTOPERROS. His works ranged from the most glamorous to the most everyday, always dignifying ARISTOPETERS without falling into typical personification. Our favorite photo: the Bulldog sitting in front of a fireplace.
Seth Casteel
We travel back to the modern era, to 2012, when the famous book ‘Underwater Dogs’ was published. The pages of this work are filled with colorful photographs of ARISTOPERROS swimming underwater. The American author instantly became very well known, and his portraits have been among the most widely shared on social media in recent years. His passion was always pets, and one day he saw a lively Cavalier King Charles Spaniel leaping into the water again and again, which gave him the idea for taking the photographs.
Amanda Jones
Her ARISTODOG Lilly inspired her to create a long-term photographic project called ‘Dog Years’; the photographer took a photo of her pet when it was 8 months old and then again at 15 years old. Jones brings together 30 furry friends in her work, all photographed with the same light, pose, and background. The emotional gaze of each subject does not seem to change over the years, making her project one of the most beautiful in the industry.
Daniel Naudé
South African Daniel Naudé is an artist who photographed 50 animals over five years in his native country. In 2012, he published his book ‘Animal Farm’, which compiled all these images. The vast majority of the ARISTODOGS are of the Africanis breed, one of the few wild species that still lives today. The project began with a peculiar encounter he had with a furry friend on the road across the Karoo plateau. In his portraits, some of the protagonists have a frightened look, others look curious, and some are indifferent.
At ARISTOPET, we love seeing each artist's perspective through the photographs they take of the ARISTOPETERS universe.
