Dawg Treats: The Write Shot

Book 'em!

Being dawgs, we are naturally curious about everything from design to other dawgs. This dawg treat about The Write Shot and what they do combines the best of both! The Write Shot photographs, designs and writes custom books that show and tell the story of dogs.


Actually, these dawg tales are not the company's primary focus, but have grown in "pup"ularity. Once clients work with The Write Shot to create a photo book for their wedding or corporate anniversary they naturally begin to think of other things in their lives they would like to have remembered in a high-end book.


An example of a wedding book


The Write Shot was founded by photojournalists Natasha Chornesky and Chris Cozzone who have between them more than 20 years of professional photography and journalism experience. When they teamed up they found that a picture may tell 1,000 words but as photo albums get passed from generation to generation the details of that story begin to fade. Their work takes the time to find the stories and document them both with words and photos in a beautiful package.


An editorial style of layout makes compelling reading


Chris and Natasha commit to only two projects a month so they can spend one full week interviewing and photographing the subject be it a dog, couple, event team or corporate partners before the event.

Each 10-by-10-inch, hardcover book is completely custom and contains an average of 100 heavy-stock, glossy pages of text and images. Past photos can also be incorporated (which works especially well for personal events corporate anniversary events).


The Write Shot doesn't miss any details!


And we designdawgs are impressed with Chris and Natasha's pedigree! Their photographs and articles have appeared in Newsweek, The New York Times, Playboy and Der Speigel. Chris has won multiple awards for his magazine layouts and photography and Natasha has taught journalism and her work has appeared in national educational publications.


The Write Shot has offices in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and travel anywhere to create these one-of-a-kind books.

Hey Dawgs,

So glad you recognized and featured my fabulously talented friends from The Write Shot!

They truly have a unique way of approaching wedding photography and designing an heirloom product that is like nothing I have ever seen before.

I'm not just saying that-we are working together on several upcoming projects.

And yes, their "Pup Tales" books are perfect for the "Dawgs":)
