I had the chance to photograph an additional group of Appenzeller Sennenhund while in Bologna. Previously I had photographed one of these dogs at a small show in Czechia. With the additional of these mature animals I now feel we have sufficient images to represent this breed in the book.

That's a wrap! After five long, hot, exhausting days, the World Dog Show has come to a close.

Despite the heat, attempting to converse in 7 different languages, challenging lighting, and less-than-ideal shooting locations, we managed to photograph over 20 new breeds.

To all the people we spoke to and those whose dogs we photographed, thank you so much for your time. We hope to meet many of you again in the future.

Very pleased to be welcoming the Phalène, sometimes also called the Continental Toy Spaniel, to the project.

Phalène is French for moth; the name is attributed to the breed's ear shape.

I went through the entries for the World Dog Show in Bologna, Italy June 3rd-7th. These are the breeds entered that I still need to photograph for The Breed Photography Project, its a bit of a terrifying list.

If you know anyone who is planning on attending this show, can you please pass my name and this list along to them? I don't have much of a network in Europe yet, but an introduction can go a long way.

I hope to photograph as many of these dogs around the city as possible that week.

Additionally, any recommendations on where to share this list to reach those planning to attend would be amazing.

What do we need: 20 minutes of your time to photograph your dogs in Bologna. These images will be used to represent your breed in our upcoming book. For more information, please message me.

Very excited to welcome the Polish Tatra Sheepdog to this project.

Tatras hail from the Podhale region in southern Poland where the Tatra mountains boast some of the tallest peaks in the Carpathians. Unique among livestock guardian dogs, these animals serve both as guardian and herding dog.

I met these particular dogs in Northern Wisconsin, where they protect their families' cattle and chickens from predators.

In honor of National Purebred Dog Day, allow us to share with you some dog breeds from around the world.

The vast majority of human cultures have developed a dog breed to solve one specific issue or another, resulting in there being over 500 distinct breeds today.

Here are just a few:

Dogs with hair that covers their face and eyes are among the most challenging to photograph. For starters, cameras have very sophisticated software designed to focus on eyes; this goes completely out the window if there are no eyes to be seen. Additionally, when photographing, I try to bring the spirit of the dog to life so that you, the viewer, can connect with them. Humans are preprogrammed to look into someone's eyes when we are trying to connect, so again, a lack of eye contact makes things a challenge.

That being said, there are many breeds whose standards call for hair over the eyes, or have hair that is long enough that it can often obscure the eyes.
