Dogs In The Wild

All my photos, Junior and Senior, from Black Creek Retriever Club have now been posted to my website to review. This was a great test to be a part of, running and dog and photographing the action, it was a great pleasure! Find the photos here; https://dogsinthewild.com/sessions/bcrc26/

Here’s a sneak peek as I work on the layout & design of Vol. 2 of my *Hunt Test Photography* book.

This year, I’m adding a little more to the book and organizing it by the U.S. states I photographed during the 2026 hunt test season. I’m also adding the dogs’ names, which was one of the most common requests I heard after Vol. 1.

There’s something about putting a name with each dog that makes the photographs feel a little more personal and authentic, and I really like what it adds to the book.

And if I photographed your dog at a hunt test this year, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll spot them somewhere in these pages. That’s part of the fun of putting this together, getting to include so many of the dogs I’ve had in front of my camera throughout the season.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, but it’s coming together. Watch for Vol. 2 in mid to late November!

The air is beginning to change, little signs, smells, the breeze, a bit less sun. Fall is on the horizon and I’m looking forward to it.

A photo book by dog photographer Mike Hosier brings together several hundred working retriever hunt test photographs, from the waters to the fields.
