Nicole England

As an architecture photographer, Nicole England found that the shoots she enjoyed the most were the ones where dogs were present &ndash; nothing lightens the mood like a nonchalant pup. 
 
However imposing the architecture, some doggy hijinks can immediately bring an element of sociability and fun. With this in mind, Nicole set about setting up her Instagram, Resident Dog, and now this book, Resident Dog [Volume Two], which showcases over 25 of the world&#39;s most amazing houses, and the dogs that live there. 
 
Photographing dogs is not always straightforward, because they don&#39;t always cooperate! The result is that these images end up with a looser, more spontaneous style. Just as every home is different, so is every dog. The photographs showcase amazing architecture and capture the personality of the idiosyncratic personality of each canine. Take a wander around the world&#39;s most stunning homes, from Mexico City to Sydney, London, New York and LA, with the home pooch as your tour guide. Each home will feature several photographs, and an interview with the architect or homeowner.
