Taking a decent photograph of a dog is always a challenge, but taking a great one? That takes extra patience, skill and a little luck. That’s why these winning photographs from this year’s ‘Dog Photographer Of The Year’ competition are so inspiring. Not only do the photographers capture beautiful pictures of “Man’s Best Friend” but they also remind us why the bond between dogs and humans is so special. Now in its thirteenth year, the international competition ran by charity The Kennel Club UK received almost 10,000 entries from over 70 different countries around the globe. Picking the photos to recognize was no easy feat.
Here are the winners and runner’s up and we think you will be as impressed as the judges with these stunning photographs.
Monica van der Maden from the Netherlands has been chosen as the overall winner of the competition with an image of Noa the Great Dane seemingly alone in a forest, which placed first in the ‘Oldies’ category, the first time an image from this particular group has been picked as an overall winner.
1st place Oldies, Overall Winner. Monica van der Maden – Netherlands
Monica said: “I am very grateful to be the overall winner of the Dog Photographer of the Year competition. Photography is what I love doing the most. I always try to capture the image of a dog in a way that you can see the emotion in their eyes, when I took this picture in the forest early one morning, Noa looked at her owner and you could feel the love between them.”
