Dog Portrait Photography is not normally seen as an art– but it is through the perspective of British photographer Tim Flach. Flach has produced a series of fascinating dog portraits that explore the many breeds and characteristics of man’s best friend.

Flach has released his collection of dog portraits in a recent book titled, simply, Dogs– available for $31.50 and ready for your coffee table. Each image is accompanied by a short description of the breed in question, including a bit about its character and grooming traits.
