The evening will comprise a special Q&A with featured photographer Martin Usborne who will discuss both his book ‘Where Hunting Dogs Rest” and his experience of working with dogs, and his work with Hoxton Mini Press, which he co-founded with Ann Waldvogel in 2013.

Martin explains:

' For centuries hunters in rural Spain have used dogs, mostly greyhounds, to hunt wild animals across the winter landscape. In the 17th century these dogs were associated with nobility. Nowadays, at the end of the each hunting season in February, it is estimated that up to 100,000 dogs are abandoned or killed, considered too old or too slow for next season.
