Fringe Animal Photography

Welcome to the Show by Amy Lombard Captures a Niche World

— January 8, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Welcome to the Show photo series does not document the typical dog show or equestrian competition. Instead, it focuses on fringe animal shows that might send a shiver down some people's spine. Especially those that involve dead pets. Of course, what makes the series so interesting is the fact that it not only focuses on the animals, but their owners and the relationship between the two.

Captured by Amy Lombard, a photographer born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and based in Brooklyn, New York, the Welcome to the Show photo series is comprised of candid shots that center around what can only be deemed as amateur and local events. Beautiful Decay notes that "Lombard’s eye captures subtleties like small, amusing moments." Thus, the series is endlessly entertaining.
