‘Dog Food [is] for the Mind and Soul. (...) It’s like punk-rock pamphleteering, but with a much nicer ethos.’ New York Times Magazine
DOG FOOD is loved by photo enthusiasts worldwide for combining mostly archival material with a splash of irony and cynicism. This annual, not-for-profit, 72-page photography zine, edited since 2012 by photographers Arjen Zwart and Jason Eskenazi and joined by photo historian Hedy van Erp as guest editor for DF11, presented its twelfth and last ever issue in november 2024. DF12 is dedicated to the great Swiss-American photographer Robert Frank. ENJOY while you can! It’s (almost) free!
Sad to see Dog Food go? Good news: a new photozine is born: FOTOLINI, made by Dog Food co-founder and graphic designer Arjen Zwart. Fotolini was launched at Dialogue Vintage Photography Amsterdam 2024, and traveled on to Le Bal in Paris, the 2439 Fair during Paris Photo, and the Ankara Zine Days at the Goethe Institute and Yer_Mekan.
Dog Food issues offer a Photo Manifesto; a Foto-Roman; Photographers' Trigger-Fingers; a Tribute to Photographers that have Passed; 10/10 Lists of Photographers' 10 Films & 10 Literary Books that Influenced their Creative Lives; as well as new articles on varied themes and never before seen vintage photography. Cheers and keep on barking!
