About Dogs On The Beach
Product Description In this breathtaking series photographer Lara Jo Regan combines two universally popular subjects dogs and beaches - kicking up fresh sand in dog, beach, travel and animal photography. Readers are treated to a vibrant, pleasure-packed journey spanning all seasons, a timeless treasure surely to be widely savored, gifted and shared. A passionate, world-renowned chronicler of canine life (Dogs in Cars, Mr. Winkle series, Dog Plays), the author spent three years shooting Dogs on the Beach, traveling to some of the most scenic seascapes in America to capture the primal joy of dogs romping and rolling in the sand, splashing in surf, lounging in the sun and even catching a few waves. One literally re-discovers and experiences the sensuous joys, child-like pleasures and expansive beauty of the beach through these remarkable intimate images of blissed-out dogs in paradise. Review "Photojournalist Regan ( Dogs in Cars,2014, etc.) reveals the secret, joyful world of beach dogs. This book features canines of various shapes and sizes frolicking and dancing through ocean waves. Regan captures them all in telling photos that showcase the animals' spirits and characters. She's had a career of shooting pictures for such magazines as Time, Newsweek, and Life, but she came into national prominence in the early 2000s when her images of her tiny, mixed-breed pooch, Mr. Winkle, created a viral internet sensation. Like photographer William Wegman, whose famous images of Weimaraners show their affective complexity, Regan capably portrays the sophisticated emotional intelligence of her subjects. In numerous photos, shot on beaches in California, Florida, and South Carolina, the author renders a surprising variety of canine moods and relationships, often using a subtle fill flash to emphasize animals' expressions. In an introduction, she reveals that "Photographing the sensuous, exhilarating bliss of dogs interacting with sand, surf and the humans and friends they love, up close and personal, over several years, profoundly deepened my own appreciation of the beach and its eternal gifts." The book has no page numbers, but its offbeat design suits the subject matter: The canines' names appear discreetly at the bottoms of pages, and, other than location names, no other text interrupts the flow of the dog and beach imagery. However, in the back of the book, the author offers a guide to dog breeds and a page of safety tips for those who might want to enjoy a day at the beach with their own pets. An irresistible photo book that portrays canine euphoria amid sand and surf." - Kirkus Reviews "Extraordinary, unique, uncommon, exceptional, singular, and thoroughly entertaining from first page to last." --Midwest Book Review " Dogs on the Beach is a stunning collection of vibrant photographs perfect for every dog lover." 5/5 STARS -- San Francisco Book Review "...captures American dog culture in a riotous, refreshing light..." --Carolyn Mullin, Founder / Director, Museum of Animal Art "... no one is more aware of the power of dogs to captivate modern culture than Lara Jo Regan." --David Schonauer, Pro Photo Daily ". . . an array of beautiful dogs in dynamic beach shots that will have you yearning for your next vacation.
