Weekly Inspiration: Ben Baker's Cone Dogs

He's photographed all the living US presidents in recent history, Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, Arnold Schwarzenegger and pretty much the who's who of the world. It's hard to read a magazine without seeing the work of Australian-born Ben Baker gracing its pages.

When he presented to participants in Shimmer Festival's Shoot the South masterclasses for documentary photographers 14-25 years old, Milton Wordley asked Ben what his favourite images were. We expected his work with Obama, Trump or any other of the big names, but instead, he showed us Cone Dogs and frankly the world is better for it.

The Cone Dogs premise is simple: images of dogs wearing cones on their heads. Let's be real - that's never not going to be hilarious. But Ben's work is warm, endearing and simply just a joy to scroll through. We highly recommend a gander.
