For almost a decade, I've traveled across continents, seeking out the pure essence of the canine spirit, in all its forms. Now I've photographed more than 60 different dog breeds in the places they come from or are strongly connected to and I'm turning these photos into a book. The project launched on Kickstarter just one day ago and it's already reached 50% of the funding goal!

I hope you enjoy these images, some of which I've never published anywhere else before, they're Bored Panda exclusives if you will!

Dogs of the World began as a few photoshoots in different countries in 2015. Over the following two years, I continued traveling and photographing dogs wherever I went. In 2018, I went on a trip that changed everything. I visited New York, Paris, and London, and in these places, I photographed an American pitbull terrier, a French bulldog, and a corgi.

Completely by coincidence, these dogs all seemed to belong in those places, something I’ve strived to achieve in my client work for over two decades, and Dogs of the World as it is today was born.

    I've captured panoramic images of the dogs in these landscapes - which I call Dogoramas - they will feature heavily throughout the book. Though impressive on a phone or a laptop, they really come to life across a book's double-page spread, trust me! These Dogoramas will feature alongside portraits and candid action shots.

    This unique project marks the first time that the dogs of the world have been captured in their native environments on such a scale. So please join me in celebrating the wonderfully diverse array of shapes and sizes our best friends have taken and pay tribute to the bond that unites us: our love for dogs.

    The final list of breeds will encompass dogs from across six continents and represent all breed groups. All genuinely posed in the landscapes, these are real photographs, not AI generated and not shot in a studio and composited into the image.

    The locations are equally as important, and for me add an extra level of authenticity to the depiction of the dogs. They belong in these places in their own unique ways.

    This is not a book about the breed standards of the dogs featured and you won't find anything about physical traits or desired temperaments nor the dogs placed in show stacks. Though in some cases through limited text, I will share stories of the breed, location, the specific dog or my experience on location working with them, this is truly a photographic book above all else.
