Dog
For dog lovers, here is a heart-tugging collection of stunning duotone portraits that celebrates the beauty and spirit of humankind's most devoted companion. Focusing her lens on purebred dogs, photographer Deborah Samuel has uniquely captured the ever-changing moods and peculiar eccentricities of dozens of different breeds. Through her closely observed photographs we come to understand the vitality of an Irish Setter, the roguish humor of a Jack Russell, the diffident elegance of a Greyhound. Ultimately, each irresistible image reveals not just the character of the breed, but the heart and soul of a beloved pet. Samuel's personal anecdotes, collected at the end of the book, reveal the often hilarious behind-the-scenes stories of each photo session. Page after charming page, from Afghan to Yorkshire Terrier, the photographs in this canine compendium are tender reminders of why we love our dogs.

Deborah Samuel has used her camera to capture the beauty and unique attitudes of various purebred dogs. Her black and white photography is sweetly insightful. These dogs aren't dressed up funny--these dogs are just themselves. Her photographs capture the soulful, humorous, sweet personalities of our four legged friends. Right from the first time I laid eyes on this book I was bedazzled with it.See the grace of a Greyhound, the playful mentality of a Jack Russell, the sleek elegance of a Doberman, and more, as well as Deborah Samuel's own studio notes. I can't wait to get her next book, "Pup." Don't miss this one--if you love dogs, you'll be enchanted with this.

I have followed Deborah Samuel's career for some years, being a photographer myself. I am very familiar with her fashion, editorial and fine art work. She has a style very distinct unto herself."Dog" is a leap forward, into a whole new realm of photography, not only for Samuel, but any photographer! Not dogs dressed up in costumes. No. Dogs being themselves, as if they were alone and no one was watching.It is amazing how she has managed to capture the personality of each breed!If you , or anyone you know loves dogs, this book is a must!
GLORIOUS!!!

Although it appears to be a book of dog photos, as you turn each page you realize that Deborah Samuel captured their souls. Each individual personality leaps from the page. Their eyes speak volumes. Their poses and smiles clearly indicate that they new exactly what was going on. Accomplices in a magical book of photos that everyone will enjoy.
