The Puppyhood: Life-size Portraits of Puppies at 6 Weeks Old book features the extensive work of pet photographer J. Nichole Smith. Over the course of a short 30-day time period, Smith managed to take pictures of 25 different dog breeds, all of which were in their infancy.
On top of the adorable appeal of this series, it is also interesting to see the physical variations in size between the puppies. All are of unique dimensions, no doubt familiar to canine lovers with several different breeds at home.
Teasing out these immense variations further is the actual size of Puppyhood. Standing at 13 by 11 inches, the piece is larger than a standard book. This shape will allow readers to truly appreciate the project.
