Happy International Dog Day! 🩵🐶

To mark the occasion, Dante, Kehrer’s Chief Napping Officer, has taken on the very important task of selecting his favourite titles from the Kehrer bookshelves [with absolutely no assistance from the spare humans].

His recommendations? Surprisingly on brand. I don’t know about you, but I can certainly sense a theme here. 🤔

🐶 DOGTOWN. The Pups of Venice Beach and Their Humans by Dotan Saguy

A joyful street photography project capturing the dogs and humans of Venice Beach. Quirky, tender and full of character, DOGTOWN is a modern homage to Elliott Erwitt. *and the closest thing to a professional biography Dante has ever read.

🐕 Where Hunting Dogs Rest by martinusborne

A poignant portrait of rescued hunting dogs in Spain, photographed in the landscapes where many are abandoned. A powerful book about vulnerability, resilience and compassion. *best appreciated from a comfortable position, according to Dante.

🛷 Arctic Heroes. A Tribute to the Sled Dogs of Greenland by Ragnar Axelsson

A moving tribute to Greenland’s sled dogs and their extraordinary relationship with the people and landscapes of the Arctic. A story of loyalty, survival and changing environments. *concepts Dante finds fascinating from the comfort of an indoor office.

Happy International Dog Day from Dante and the entire Kehrer team! 🐾📚

He is now available for meetings.

„A photographic stream of consciousness exploring belonging and longing for something bigger than ourselves.“ – , Editorial Director, British Journal of Photography
