Elias Weiss Friedman, better known as The Dogist, is the Internet’s favorite dog photographer. He’s developed a daily practice of taking stunning portraits of other people’s pups and in the past three years he’s gained 2.4 million followers on Instagram. Kurt met Friedman at the dog run in Washington Square Park and he walked him through some essential tips for taking better pictures of your pup. Special thanks to Delaney Simmons and Thatch, and Sahar Baharloo and Frankie.
