Sage Sohier grew up with four dogs, and currently lives with three. Animals have always been important in her life; so, when she started photographing people in the late 1970s, she often included their companion animals.

“There is more spontaneity, less self-consciousness, and more chaos when humans and other animals coexist. Love is unconditional, grief is uncomplicated though deeply felt, and life is richer, more vivid, more comical.”

Sage Sohier’s Animals was published November 2019 by Stanley/Barker.

This series has been featured in The New Yorker Photo Booth, The Financial Times Magazine, and Vogue Italia; and has been named one of 2019’s best photo books by Photo-Eye and by Elin Spring’s “What Will You Remember.”
