Episode 7 of SHOW & TELL is finally here and it's a two part dogs in street photography special! That's right, not one show on dogs but (eventually) two! Thrill, gasp and wipe the slobber from your screen as Stephen reveals all about how dogs and photography have always gone together like puppies and damp accidents. This show is a concise history of pooches in photography from early dawg-errotypes, via all the big old dogs like Jacques Henri Lartigue, Andre Kertéz, Henri Cartier Bresson, Eliott Erwitt (of course), Robert Frank and Penti Sammallahti.
And if that wasn't enough, in the next episode (hopefully to be with you very very soon, Stephen will be joined by a very special guest - dog photographer extraordinaire Ben Burfitt, also known as @actsofdog. Stephen and Ben will be judging their very own Crufts or Dog Show of dog photography, so watch this episode now and then wait impatiently for epiode 2 to drop. Hopefully on the weekend...
Please subscribe to the channel and Stephen will continue doing these films as he seeks to focus on photography content and not just which new or old camera to buy.

This is timely for me to watch because I shared images I had captured at the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade yesterday and I had the pleasure of viewing The Americans for the first time this past weekend. It was an interesting book because there seemed to be a lot of images I would describe as side profiles, which has become more common again with street photos (possibly taken out of fear or because timing was off), and I was puzzled by the absence of animal subjects. Then again, I feel like the majority of Americans at the time the work was captured, viewed animals as work animals or as accessories. I don’t know when people started to adopt or buy pets to take care of, but I feel like it’s a behavior that became more popular during the mid 20th century. Such a fascinating topic to learn about though, dogs in street photography.

The thing is, if you look at the Phaidon dog book I talk about in the film you can see that dogs have been much beloved pets for many many years, easily since the late 1800s and earlier. The Americans has horses in it but not one dog. I don't think there are any cats either. Glad you liked it though, part 2 coming soon....

"Couldn't give a monkey's toss." Can't say I've heard that one before. I like your point about cropping. EE offers no better example. (I understand the famed HCB shot is also violently cropped.) I've known about Pentti Sammallahti but have never gotten my paws on a book. I just checked the local library and they have a copy of one of his. Happy day.

IT's usually shortened to 'couldn't give a monkey's' but I prefer the full fat version. Glad you're enjoying the films. Please watch part 2, subscribe tell all your friends etc etc....Thanks

Reminds me of a story about how once Arbus fell out with Winogrand about a shared cat photo, to this date the relative estate are still in conflict over the copyright and has never been published, indeed you'll not hear much about the story officially due to much lingering embarrassment, where one party threw a sandwich at the other in anger and ran away.

I suspect that there are many hidden, possibly utterly fanciful, stories like this just waiting to be discovered / invented within the world of photography. Trouble is sorting the truth from the nonsense......

Great episode Stephen. I see a call from Thames and Hudson soon looking for a new history of photography book with jokes. I'd buy it. If memory serves me well ( which these days it fails to do on a regular basis ) the great dane and chihuahua pic was for an ad shoot? I could be wrong. I will never look at The Americans in the same way again.

@stephenlesliephoto Жыл бұрын

I seriously doubt Thames & Hudson would risk it! Although I am in the new 'Reclaim The Street' book that Matt Stuart and Steven McLaren have done that's out next year. I don't think the other Erwitt was done specifically for an advert, I thought maybe he was out shooting an advert when he saw it and got it?? But, obviously, I could be wrong. I often am. Glad you're enjoying the films. More still to come...
