Dog owners will agree that our canine friends have unique personalities beyond the traits of their breed. 

The family duo of Alexander Khokhlov and Veronica Ershova set out to show that dogs can do more than sit quietly, lie and bark on command. In their project “The Dog Show,” the photographers reveal the human-like traits of different breeds of dogs. Some dogs are somber, others mischievous, haughty, laughing, sad, angry, indifferent. 

This series of funny and insightful dog portraits received the Silver Award of the Prix De La Photographie Paris contest.
