Traer Scott [Right]
Traer Scott is a photographer specialising in fine art and editorial portraiture.
She’s also a artist who believes that through her work, she can make a difference
and make us all think about the dogs who are often out-of-sight, yet shouldn’t be
out-of-mind.
In the book Shelter Dogs, she captures the spirit of a fraction of the many dogs
that, through no fault of their own, have become Shelter Dogs. The dogs that
often have unimaginable backgrounds–the lost and the found. Dogs that may find
the joy of a new home and those whose fates lie at the end of the corridor and at
the end of a needle.
In Traer’s follow-up publication, Street Dogs, she spent her time documenting
the plight of street dogs in Puerto Rico and Mexico. Working closely with animal
rescuers in the cities and villages where large packs of abandoned dogs roam the
streets. Satos, slang for mutts refers to these street dwellers–whether cross breeds
or purebred dogs that have been dumped–unwanted and discarded pets. Through
the work of local and US based rescue organizations, these loveable Satos are
rehabilitated and then shipped to the US for rehoming.
Mark J. Asher [Above, Right & Below]
Mark J. Asher is the author of three pet photography books. We featured work from
his first book, Old Friends, that features senior dogs along with their longevity secrets.
Mark was riding high on the crest of the dot com wave when it unexpectedly crashed
leaving him without a job. With more hours in his day he made use of the time by
spending it with his eight-year old dog, Humprey. It was on a walk on a fine, crisp
San Francisco day that Mark got an inspired idea for a photographic book–a study
on our older canine friends. Those seniors with wise, warm eyes who’re slowing down
and showing the greying signs of their years.
In Mark’s third book, Bark and Ride, he explored a world where dogs can drive–with
a quirky and humourous bent to it. His pictures capture the sweet spirit that resides in
our golden oldies and encapsulates the light-hearted nature of all dogs.
