"When the family told me that Harry and Cooper could do this trick, I couldn't believe it! After that, one of the owners threw a stick far from us in the path and both came back with the stick while running at the same time."

Such a fun shot. Reminded me of when my Australian Shepherd/Malamute, Bandit, and his buddy, Golden Retriever, Bear, would run side by side and transfer a frisbee back and forth. Such a happy memory! Brigitte
The first edition of the Dog Photographer of The Year Awards (DPA) took place in 2021. According to one of the founders of DPA, Audrey Bellot, the response was amazing as well as the level of the entered images in each category. "We [Audrey Bellot and Claudio Piccoli] decided to create this contest first of all because we are dog photographers ourselves, and this helps a lot in judging the pictures knowing what’s correct and what’s not."

"The dachshund, called 'Maddie', was so in love with the treats, then this really funny snapshot originated and makes her look like Princess Leia."

1st Place, Action: "Stop Your Motion" By Jacqueline Rüdiger
Germany
"Have you ever seen a dog, or even better a sighthound, running in pure joy? You see the power, the play of the muscles and the perfect anatomy for running fast. In this picture I wanted to show the speed of this dog and capture it, but at the same time freeze the motion to show the anatomy of this beautiful dog. To get it you need a perfect timing of all components involved. The dog, the lights and for sure me as the photographer. The result is a stunning composition reduced to the only important thing, the dog."
Phillip Moderow 2 years ago
Looks like he was shot out of a cannon. Fabulous shot ... er, picture.

Finalist, Action: "Wave Jumper" By Michelle Dawkins
United States
"Taken with the Nikon Z8. The conditions were perfect, calm water, beautiful sky, and the tide was low. That all changed very quickly as the weather pattern changed. High winds came in out of nowhere and so did the crazy waves. This did not stop Lotti from enjoying her time running, jumping, and chasing her ball into the water. She flew with incredible speed and power through the waves to get her ball, while I was watching the waves from the corner of my eye, lifting my camera up and down to avoid the water, while tracking her movement. A fun and exciting time photographing this amazing dog."

“Grading all the 1400 or so works is really challenging, however, it is also an honor and a pleasure. It was an opportunity for me to see hundreds of amazing pictures. The level of the submitted photos this year was really high, which did not help me with casting my votes, but I am really happy that, with all the other judges, we managed to choose the truly best piece of art.

1st Place, Portrait And Landscape: "Ascending Serenity" By Sanna Sander
Sweden
"In the right light even the most mundane place emits magic.
I had the idea of this image in my mind for quite some time, driving past the log stack every day on my way to drop the kids of at school.
And finally, on our way home from school one day, I stopped the car and asked my Azawakh girl Soleil to hold the pose for a moment while I took the photo.
Already in the camera I saw that it had become something more than I had hoped for; a moment of clean stillness in the busy and messy everyday life, something more than a posing dog on a log stack.
The image made me linger in the moment."
Ann M Clinkscales 2 years ago
That is a very muscular dog showing off how beautiful she is!! Beautiful baby!

"A malinois and a Belgian shepherd running in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris during sunrise."
JessieJ&LilyLovebug 2 years ago
Malinois is French for shepherd...the breed can be referred to as either Belgian Malinois or Belgian Shepherd...but they are the same breed.
Steven Peeters 2 years ago (edited)
Malinois is not french for shepherd, it simply means from Malines or Mechelen. Both these dogs are Belgian shepherds but the one on the right is the more common version of the Belgian Malinois with the ginger-ish fur, while the left one is simply another Belgian Malinois with a darker fur. If you do not know what you are talking about, please, for the love of god, don't just run your mouth... Also please note that there are several different species of Belgian Shepherd dogs being the Groenendael, the Tervuren, the Malinois and the Lakenois.

"As described in the breed standard, a Basenji should be elegant and graceful. The whole demeanor is one of poise and inquiring alertness. A dog full of confidence and with high self-esteem. The only thing this young Basenji girl needed was a red frame."

United Kingdom
"This is Henry! At the time he was only 10 weeks old and the new love of my life. We were having fun playing around my studio (as I couldn't wait to photograph him) when he started getting sleepy and curled up in his bed and I thought it best just to let him be. Not much has changed since. This portrait just captures him perfectly as he has never quite got out of the napping habit!"

Finalist, Dogs And People: "Yin And Yang" By Agnieszka Gulczynska
Poland
"Childhood of my Son is my biggest inspiration. Photographing Igor, I admire the amazing and beautiful way you can catch things which are seemingly regular. An old bucket or umbrella are magical objects for children. That is why I appreciate the way my son uses this magic, regards and discovers the world, creates relations with children and animals which constantly fascinate Him."

Finalist, Dogs And People: "Lost And Found" By Sabrina Theden
Germany
"This is probably the rawest moment I captured so far. It was one of those days where nothing worked out as I imagined. I was stuck in the numbness of a depressive episode and hadn't felt anything for weeks. But that evening, when I pushed myself to give that self-portrait one last try, I activated the interval timer, and the very second I sat down with my dog, tears were running down my face. Kenzy was comforting me immediately, as she always does and the last interval photos captured that fragile moment. A reminder that if I get lost, she will guide me back. Panorama with about 10-12 images."
Ann M Clinkscales 2 years ago
Kenzy is aware of your hurt and numbness! Beautiful shot! So raw!!

The 'man's' best friend phrase is antiquated. Let's stop reinforcing patriarchal language where it no longer has a place. There's a reason dogs, and I'm generalising happily, prefer women owners.

"I have become fascinated by the dynamic interplay between air, water and light in turbulence as water is suddenly displaced at the moment of impact as a dock-diving dog enters the water. This split second event conjured for me the feeling of falling through ice or being suddenly transported into an alternate realm."

3rd Place, Portrait And Landscape: "Monochromatic Illusion" By Sanna Sander
Sweden
"On a silent morning when the last snow of the winter was melting the fog rolled over the meadows and the trees stretched into the sky, begging the sun to return.
The colors were sucked out of the world, and everything was silent except the crowing ravens adding to the atmosphere.
In the stillness she posed, watching the winter slowly leaving and making way for spring.
In the stillness she was the only color left in the world.
She was the queen of this monochromatic illusion."
#41
Finalist, Studio: "The Librarian" By Sandy Van Kruijsdijk
The Netherlands
"I took this photo of our dog Skûtsje with the help of my husband. When our dog sees my photography equipment he knows he is going to earn a lot of cookies. He borrowed this shirt from our 3 year old son. He doesn't even think he has strange owners anymore, he is completely used to it by now and sees posing as a fun activity. I had this idea for a while because I love books and I have the perfect model for my images. I am not a professional photographer, but an enthusiastic hobbyist. I hope you enjoy this photo."
Linda Sherwood 2 years ago
this scholarly dog reminds me a lot of my beloved Tennessee, who passed a few months ago, leaving a hole in my heart that's somewhat softened by pictures like this. She looked much like your adorable one, only with long fringe dripping down from her ears. Also, she'd likely never have agreed to do what Skutsje has so professionally accomplished! Professional or not, you've created a amazing picture! thank you.

"Me and my precious Manja, enjoying the peacefulness of the remote location and night sky miracles. I'm so lucky that I was able to capture this very special moment we shared together. The vast starry sky, the Milkyway and Perseid meteors make an unique landscape and atmosphere for expressing our special companionship.
She is already 14 years old. She doesn't see very well in the dark anymore, but I show her light and we walk together. I'm so grateful that she was still willing to join me and pose with me. I feel that we made magic during the nights we photographed the Perseid meteor shower."

Finalist, Dogs And People: "The Afghan Bride" By Sandra Ferwerda
The Netherlands
"I wanted to do a fine art style with this beautiful traditional Afghan Kuchi Tribe dress and jewels and the Afghan dog.
For a bit of movement in the dog's hair I used a hairblower, which the dog was used to on account that she is being groomed often.
This shoot was done with women only, my 'higher' aim with photography is to empower women. With the current situation in Aghanistan this shot has a deeper layer to it."

After a long time being home bound because of a chronic condition and following depression, we got the chance to borrow the van of one of my oldest friends and I pushed through all of my fears to go on our first roadtrip and shooting tour that was more than 2h away from home.

Finland
"Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains on the moon." ― J.R.R. Tolkien
"This photo shoot took place on a late summer evening on an island by the coast of Finland, the Land of the Midnight Sun, and as a photographer I wanted it to transport us to an ethereal land, where a spirited girl and her faithful Shetland Sheepdog navigate a landscape brimming with magic."
