Every year the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom holds a Dog Photographer of the Year contest. And every year the photographs astound and delight. You don’t have to be a dog lover to appreciate these beautiful photographs, but if you are, the photos take on an extra layer of emotion.
In this the fourteenth year of the competition, the judges received almost 7,000 entries from over 70 countries around the globe. With so many talented photographers picking the winning shots must be a daunting task. This year’s overall winner and winner in the “Oldies” category is a beautiful photo of Merlin, a 14-year-old rescue Podengo.
The dog sits amongst a magnolia setting and is entitled “Dreaming Merlin”. Denise Czichocki from Switzerland said of her win, “I am really proud and overwhelmed, I still can’t believe it!” She says that her passion for dog photography started when she had her first dog. “I wanted to create lovely memories of all of them. Over the years I have developed my photography to become more emotional.”
Other winners include last year’s winner, Monica van der Maden from the Netherlands, who won both the ‘Puppy’ category with a heart-warming image of two Weimeraner puppies and the ‘Dogs at Play’ category with a mischievous photo of Waylon the Australian Shepherd.
