Muttshots A Compilation of Canine Characters

Dogs’ faces are unique—eyes that can see deep into your soul; noses long and short, with textures and colors ranging from the blackest black to pink and every shade in between; the length of their ears and whether they stand up straight, droop low, or perhaps a combination of both; the infinite arrangements of coat markings and hair lengths, curly or straight; wrinkled jowls, wrinkled foreheads, whiskers, teeth, tongues, and eyebrows. Muttshots is the evolution of photographer Loz Dalton’s personal project to examine furry faces from different angles and became a joyful exploration into uncovering the personalities, quirks, and stories. This book highlights the huge bond we have with our animals and how pure and special their unconditional love for us is.

Loz Dalton is a Melbourne-based animal photographer who focuses on capturing the character nuances of her subjects.
