It was an honor and a pleasure to photograph some of New York's most charming animals over the last four decades!
West Highland Terrier and Westie/Lhasa Ipso Mix These delightful dogs live in New Jersey and enjoy a spectacular skyline view of New York on their walks. Hugo and Hana are joyful, friendly dogs who enjoy long walks with their thoughtful owner, Athena. Both dogs-and their owner- were a pleasure to work with. Hugo, especially, won …
A Brooklyn Dog enjoys Manhattan views from Dumbo. I had the pleasure of meeting Brandi recently, and doing an “outdoor safari” in Dumbo, the now exclusive area of Brooklyn between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. Aside from some spectacular views, you never know who you might meet here (I met a beautiful movie star who …
Chihuahuas, a Very Large Cat, and Rats! You may have seen my friend, Ada Nieves, on The David Letterman Show (if not, see below) recently, showing off her line of rat fashions. Yes, rat clothes. (If you think rats aren’t adorable, watch those videos). It’s always great to see Ada, who is a very active animal advocate, party …

New York Street Photography of Dogs in The East Village (mostly) Before Gentrification My neighborhood (the East Village/Alphabet City) would be unrecognizable to anyone who left in 1985. Photos from the dawn of phoDOGraphy reveal a much darker place, before there were restaurants and grocery stores with whole wheat bread. The neighborhood was dicey enough …
Sometimes dog photography pays off. Two phoDOGraphy models (and their moms) are getting a lot of exposure as the new year approaches. Both Portia (right) and Eli (below) are cover models on new 2011 wall calendars. The photos were picked up from my stock agency, Kimball Stock, and appeared recently on shelves and websites everywhere. This …
I’ll start with some basics of composition and framing that might improve all of your photos, not just those of your dog. Judging by the majority of images I see on Facebook and elsewhere, most people could use plenty of help in this area. 1. Think about the frame through which you’re shooting. The first …
Chihuahua Photo Gallery
My New York dog photography started in Paris. I grew up with ridiculous dogs (Dachshund, then a Basset Hound) with almost one set of legs between them. They were both pathetic. Both looked guilty most of the time, because they were, and both howled with surprisingly big voices. The Dachshund liked to race through the house …
