About Dogs of the World

DOGS OF THE WORLD is a uniquely beautiful collection of never-before-published images from world-renowned dog photographer Craig Turner-Bullock, that's me - my friends made me write that bit but I guess it's true!

The Standard Edition is more than a beautiful book. It's an invitation to bring the world’s most extraordinary dogs into your home. It’s a piece that will not only enhance your coffee table but also spark conversations, invoke emotions, and inspire a deeper appreciation for the diversity of our best friends.

If you are seeking something truly exquisite, the Limited Edition offers you just that. Encased in a luxurious clamshell box and including a hand signed and numbered fine art print, this edition elevates this already gorgeous book into a work of art in its own right - a treasure that will stand the test of time, both in quality and in the timeless beauty it captures.

For almost a decade, I've travelled across continents, seeking out the pure essence of the canine spirit, in all its physical forms.

Dogs of the World began as a few photoshoots in different countries in 2015. Over the following two years, I continued travelling and photographing dogs wherever I went. In 2018, I went on a trip that changed everything. I visited New York, Paris and London, and in these places I photographed an American pitbull terrier, a French bulldog and a corgi. Completely by coincidence, these dogs all seemed to belong in those places, something I’ve strived to achieve in my client work for over two decades, and Dogs of the World as it is today was born.

Each photograph I’ve crafted tells a story, not just of the dog but of the environment in which each breed has evolved and become interwoven with the landscape.

I have captured panoramic images of the dogs in these landscapes - which I call Dogoramas - they will feature heavily throughout the book. Though impressive on a phone or a laptop, they really come to life across a book's double-page spread, trust me! These Dogoramas will feature alongside other images - candid close-up portraits, detail shots and action shots - to give the book variety.

The goal was to capture 50 breeds in their ancestral homes, countries they originated, places they have strong ties to or that they have become recognised as national ambassadors. I have currently reached 60 breeds and the book is ready to be brought to life, I'm still planning on a few more trips to keep adding to the collection of dogs across six continents being featured in the final product.

This unique project marks the first time that the dogs of the world have been captured in their native environments on such a scale. So please join me in celebrating the wonderfully diverse array of shapes and sizes our best friends have taken and pay tribute to the bond that unites us: our love for dogs.

Embark on something truly magical: a photographic celebration of our truest friends.

Our Dogs of the World.

About Craig Turner-Bullock

Capturing images that show his 4-pawed subjects in their happy places for commercial clients and everyday family dogs is Craig’s passion-turned-career, which he’s been doing since 2001. When not travelling the world working on his long term Dogs of the World project, photographing dog breeds in the places they originate, or teaching at dog photography retreats, Craig calls Christchurch home. 

In 2018 he won the title of New Zealand Portrait Open Photographer of the Year and in 2023 was the first winner of the brand new Animal category. Craig has more than 100 awards from all over the world. He is a Fujifilm X Global Ambassador and the author of 3 best-selling books; Quake Dogs, Quake Cats and A Dog’s Life. 

Craig’s work with charities locally and overseas is something close to his heart “photographing adoptable animals is a huge honour, I truly believe a photograph can save a life.” He is also one half of Unleashed Education, a pet photography education platform teaching aspiring pet photographers online and at in person retreats.
