Photo Essay Proposal
Even though over 85 million people in the United States own pets, there aren’t enough food and safety regulations put in place for the food they eat. Instead of making quality dog food that isn’t filled with preservatives and harmful chemicals, they get food that gets recalled all the time leaving nothing but negative repercussions for dogs specifically. Dog food is something that is available everywhere, I’ve even seen a Gas Station offer its own “ HomeMade Dog Treats”, this leaves dogs exposed and vulnerable. I plan on exposing the damages the lack of regulations on Dog food can have on the Dogs and their pet parents.
What I propose to shoot in my photo essay is the effects of going inn the journey of finding the best food for their pet( extra food being stored, confused pet parents,trips to various food stores The shots I intend of getting is of the different types of dog food, in addition I have reached out to a family freidn who is a Hoslitic Nuetrosit ofr dogs, who will show me her practice as well as the process she goes when explaining to pet parents the harm in the food they may be feeding their pets currently. I also plan on including shots of the dogs themselves.
