I recently started using Instagram and discovered an amazing photographer, Elias Weiss Freidman, aka The Dogist. I’m pretty sure he has one of the coolest jobs ever! The Dogist differs from most pet photographer. Typically Elias doesn’t know who he’ll photograph on any given day. Instead he finds dogs out and about and photographs them on the spot.
If you have Instagram, you’ll want to follow the Dogist on that. He updates frequently and its wonderful to see the variety of dogs and locations he photographs.
From Elias: “I like to say that I have ‘all the dogs’, but I currently don’t own one myself yet. I will when I have the resources to do so.”
Elias actively helps shelter dogs find homes. In addition to his project Give A Dog a Bone, he has also recently collaborated with Mrs. Sizzle to get some awesome dogs adopted.
Be sure to follow The Dogist on Facebook!
About the Dogist: Based in New York City, The Dogist is a photo-documentary series dedicated to capturing the beauty of dogs.
That’s awesome! All of those pups are so cute, especially the pibbles in the blue jacket <3
I am OBSESSED with The Dogist! I always look forward to his updates on Instagram! I would hang his photos on my wall, they’re so beautiful.
What an awesome feature, but how will I ever get any work done ever again… totally obsessed with the dogist!
I will definitely follow him! I enjoy the @streetdogphotographer also!
