Throughout his career as a National Geographic photographer, Vincent J. Musi regularly traveled around the world to take pictures of lions, bears, elephants, tigers and other wildlife. But in 2017 he decided to train his lens on a more common animal – dogs.
Using the skills and expertise he honed over decades, Musi spent a year taking portraits of our furry companions and the results have been published in a new book, The Year of the Dogs. The coffee table book includes wonderful close-up portraits along with Musi’s impressions of the personalities of his canine subjects, such as encounters with a farting bulldog and a Labrador Retriever who likes opera.
But why did Musi switch from large wild animals to man’s best friend in the first place?
“In the spring of our son Hunter’s sixteenth year, my wife, Callie, and I realized that he was quickly turning into a grown-up and would be leaving the nest before we knew it,” Musi explains. “Wanting to spend as much time as possible with Hunter before the metamorphosis was complete, I decided to forgo all assignments that involved travel, which was pretty much all assignments.”
