Elias Weiss Friedman

Photographer, creative director, videographer, producer, and New York Times bestselling author Elias Weiss Friedman is the creator of the wildly successful online platform The Dogist. With his signature style of capturing one-of-a-kind dog portraits that humanize and illuminate their unique personalities, Elias has photographed over 50,000 dogs around the world, was invited to the White House to photograph the President and his dog, and has served as an official photographer for the Westminster Kennel Club and Puppy Bowl. He is also, of course, a dog owner: Elsa, a husky mix he first fostered during the pandemic, bonded with him almost instantly and has now become a permanent member of his family.
