Elliott Erwitt
American · b. 1928

Erwitt built his career on witty and deadpan photography featuring dogs as subjects, capturing animals with the same humorous and humanizing quality that defines Wegman's Weimaraner portraits. His carefully timed color and black and white prints share the same comedic stillness and conceptual wit present in Blizzard.

Martin Parr
British · b. 1952

Parr creates vivid color photography with a strong sense of humor and surrealist undertones in everyday staged moments, closely mirroring the whimsical and deadpan atmosphere Wegman achieves in his pigment prints. His conceptual approach to color saturation and absurdist subject framing aligns directly with the tonal and compositional qualities seen in Blizzard.

Tim Flach
British · b. 1958

Flach specializes in highly staged and conceptually composed animal photography printed with exceptional color fidelity, giving his animal subjects a humanized and expressive presence that mirrors Wegman's approach to his Weimaraners. His deliberate studio setups and attention to the emotional stillness of animal subjects echo the carefully constructed tableau in Blizzard.
