Exceptionally Unique Series of Photographs Reveals Dogs' Emotions While Being Left Behind in the Car
Martin Usborne's The Silence of Dogs in Cars turns a simple moment into something strangely moving. The photographs capture dogs waiting alone in parked cars, and each face seems to tell a different story.
Usborne connects the series to a childhood memory of being left in a car for a short time, and that feeling of uncertainty shaped the project. The result is a set of images that can feel sad, funny, and unexpectedly human all at once.
Some of the dogs look heartbroken, some look annoyed, and a few seem almost amused. Read on.
