Dog.

Hardcover English 208 pages 18 × 13 255 g

Description

Dog. gathers contemporary photographs of dogs from an international group of established and emerging practitioners. Published by Hoxton Mini Press in 2026, the book treats its subject as more than a familiar emblem of affection: across the collection, dogs appear as companions, characters, confidants and constants, occupying the intimate territory they share with human life.

The editorial premise is deliberately broader than sentiment. The photographs are described as intimate, cinematic and quietly powerful, while also allowing for playfulness, poignancy and surprise. That range gives the subject room to move between observation and portraiture, private attachment and public presence. Rather than advancing a single authorial style, the book brings multiple photographic approaches into conversation, making its variety central to the reading experience.

The named photographers include Nicole England, Martin Usborne, Tim Flach, Cait Oppermann, Dougie Wallace, Marcel Heijnen, Traer Scott, Winnie Au, Ruth van Beek, Gerrard Gethings, Alicia Rius, Tomáš Werner, Elke Vogelsang, Sophie Gamand, Carli Davidson, Robin Schwartz, Dietmar Busse, Daniel Naudé, Charlotte Dumas, Randal Ford, James Lee, Robert Bahou and Nancy LeVine. Jilke Golbach is credited as author; the photography is a collective undertaking rather than the work of one photographer.

For a collector, Dog. is of interest as a concise survey of how contemporary photography can reconsider an everyday, deeply familiar subject. Its significance lies in the combination of breadth and focus: a single animal becomes a means of examining companionship, character and the varied forms of coexistence. The English-language hardcover comprises 208 pages, giving the collection substantial scope while retaining the directness of a compact photographic book.
