Cone of Shame

The hard plastic post-surgery cone is every dog’s worst nightmare. But in this stunning collection by celebrated photographer Winnie Au and designer Marie-Yan Morvan, it becomes an iconic statement of personality and visual wit. Each dog featured in this book models a bespoke cone made from unique materials--everything from eggshells to repurposed pool noodles to luxe suede and silk flowers.

These works of art are designed to amplify the one-of-a-kind charm and self-possessed dignity that makes every dog special and charming in their own way. As hilarious as it is beautiful, Cone of Shame is a showcase of the unmatched power of dogs to inspire joy, devotion, and unconditional love.

Winnie Au is a photographer and co-founder the magazine Four & Sons, an online and print magazine that explores the intersection of dogs, culture, and art. Her Cone of Shame series has been featured in gallery shows most recently at Fotografiska Stockholm and Fotografiska Talinn.
