Synopsis

• First book of dog photography by Vincent Lagrange
• Magnificent canine portraits full of tenderness and personality
• Following in the footsteps of bestselling photographer Marc Lagrange
• Text in English and German

"... Any dog devotee will put it right on their coffee table the second they open it." ― Christina Vercelletto, CNN Underscored

"...a magnificent collection of photos of animals looking sweet, innocent, thoughtful, tender and sublime." ― Dave Johnson, Forbes

What makes dogs so unique? They are the only species that favour the company of humans over their own kind.

A dog looks at us with a deep understanding and empathy, perhaps greater than our own. In this charming book of dog photography, Vincent Lagrange records this treasured intimacy with our four-legged friends.

Applying the techniques of portrait photography, which he learned in his youth at his father Marc Lagrange's studio, he captures our canine counterparts in crisp, perfectly illuminated pictures that allow their own soulful personalities to shine through.

Text in English and German.

About this title

About the Author

Vincent Lagrange was born in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1988 as the son of Marc Lagrange, one of the world's most famous portrait and nude photographers. Growing up in his father's studio, he inherited his passion for portraiture and love of studio life. Through first-hand experiences of seeing techniques in action, he learned the creativity and skills required to turn dreams into reality. His work aims to capture an animal's inner energy by building a relationship that's based on trust, kindness, and openness. Vincent has documented everything from dogs and cats to fish, turtles, birds, cheetahs, and many other species. Whether it's a beloved house pet, a rescue animal, or a protected creature in the wild, his work shows that every animal is worthy of respect. The artistic vocabulary of Vincent's photography seeks to uncover animals' individual characters and unique personalities. His ongoing series, The Human Animal Project, seeks to raise awareness of animal causes, and inspire various projects and initiatives for charitable contributions to pet shelters and other worthy causes.
