Introduction by Recommending Viewer
Wouter Blok recommended Patricia Schimmel to us, referring to Patricia’s love for photography. For the first time our presentation features animals only. Photographing animals may seem easy, but if you give it a try you might be suprised. Patricia manages very well to have her dogs be individual personalities in these photographs.

Our poll "A photo essay always needs a great written story" closed. 267 people voted, 28% agrees, 72% disagrees. 233 people answered our follow-up question "Are you a photographer?" 82% indicated they are, 18% said no. Initially, negative answers to question #1 were almost 100% as was the pecentage of photographers among respondants. Then, when the level of non-photographers started to rise, the percentage of people indicating good text is always essential started to rise too. This seems to indicate that non-photographers think that adding good text to your photo essays is essential. In my opinion: if you want non-photographers to dig your work, you know what to do...
The dog-owner likes to think he knows exactly what his pet needs.
In his eyes, most important thing the dog needs to understand is what his bounderies are. You’re just a dog… I’m the boss, so follow my orders. When playtime is over the dog gets a snarl: “sit, stay and shut up.”
Everybody knows the sad, blinking eyes of a dog that has just been put back in his place.
It were these eyes that struck me, that human-like glance they seem to have.
The more I photograph dogs, the more I seem to interpret their glance and behavior as if they are saying: “I will put up with this for now, but just wait and see… my day will come.”
The photographs are never planned or staged.
Patricia Schimmel (1979) lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands.
