He is best known for the originality that he brings to capturing animal behavior and characteristics. In this, he is often exploring the close relationship between humans and animals, in particular how humanity imposes and reveals its ideals when trying to understand and work with animals.Dogs is Tim Flach's second book. His first, Equus, was published as a standard edition in 2008, and a large-format limited edition in collaboration with renowned purveyor of luxury goods Asprey of London in 2009.
