Dog Photographer of the Year 2009 Overall Winner
Celebrated photographer Tim Flach is to join the judging panel for the Kennel Club Dog Photographer of the Year competition.
Known for his fine art photography of animals, ranging from bats to horses, Tim can boast the Sunday Times, Cirque du Soliel and Sony amongst his clients. He is perhaps best known for his astounding book Equus - “the family of animals: that goes from ass to zebra, but is mostly horses” he explains.
Dogs are another favoured subject for Flach, who has recently completed a new book which highlights different breeds of dogs. Flach said: “I am delighted to have been asked to be a judge of the Kennel Club's Dog Photographer of the Year competition. After spending a significant amount of time studying dogs and constructing images to portray their characters and their beauty, I am interested to see other people’s perspective through their images of these amazing animals.”
Winners of the competition will receive a signed copy of Tim’s new book, Dogs.
With a thorough understanding of the different breeds of dogs and an appreciation for the various forms, sizes and characteristics of dogs, Tim is perfectly placed to judge the Kennel Club annual competition.
Caroline Kisko, Communications Director at the Kennel Club said: “It is a very exciting opportunity to have such a great photographer to help spot emerging talent. Tim often looks at how we project human characteristics onto animals and so it will be very interesting to see his favourites.
“Dogs naturally make for truly amazing images - their spontaneous nature can give a fresh and dynamic feel to photos in just seconds. The entries we have had over the past years of the competition have been fascinating and we look forward to seeing this year’s selection.”
The Dog Photographer of the Year competition is open to anyone with a camera. The competition not only allows people to show off their artistic talents to a wide audience and emphasise the loving and animated characteristics of our much-loved pets, but all entry fees will go to the Kennel Club Charitable Trust.
The Kennel Club Charitable Trust funds a wide variety of work ranging from supporting research into canine diseases to welfare initiatives and the promotion of support dogs, all of which give dogs healthier and happier lives. To enter the Dog Photographer of the Year competition the Kennel Club Charitable Trust asks for a small minimum donation of £3.50 to help it to support canine good causes.
