Paul Nathan Attending the 2014 Intergroom Trade Show to Launch the Book “GROOMED”

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - April 2, 2014 - PRLog -- If it snips, clips, brushes or has anything to do with dog and cat hair, then it will be at the Intergroom Trade Show! Intergroom has become the largest international conference of its kind in the world. New York City based photographer, Paul Nathan, is gearing up for this year’s show and is excited to share his recently launched book, “Groomed.” This three day furry-filled affair will take place at the Hilton Meadowlands Hotel in East Rutherford, NJ on April 7^th.

Intergroom 2014 will consist of the top pet stylists, hundreds of products, and industry leaders from around the globe. There will be pet grooming competitions, master classes, grooming seminars and two fun and fabulous Intergroom parties. Attendees have the opportunity to view grooming and industry related products and equipment from over 150 booths at the Trade Show. The canine trends that will be showcased at this year's event will be jaw dropping, over the top and fun! Learn more at: http://www.intergroom.com/.

It’s no surprise that Paul Nathan will showcase “Groomed” at this three day grooming extravaganza. His portraits showcase beauty for beauty's sake, even in some of the more extreme photographs, where the dog's hair or fur is manipulated into shapes or scenes and dyed different colors. These photos are featured in the ‘creative’ category of “Groomed” and were taken at last year’s Intergroom event.

Paul Nathan became enamored with the idea of capturing the most manicured and primped Poodles, Cocker spaniels, Bichon Frise's, Bedlington Terriers and more. He focused on the texture of the coat and the expression, photographing most of the dogs in this book at high profile grooming competitions and paying special attention to the aesthetic accomplishments of some of the world's top dog groomers.

“Intergroom is a fabulous event and I look forward to returning this year,” expresses Paul Nathan, “Last year’s Intergroom gave me the unique opportunity to capture many beautiful photos that are now featured in my new book, GROOMED. I’m very grateful for that!”

Dog grooming is all about the visual pleasure that stems from creating balance, symmetry, and freedom of movement. In Groomed, one has the rare opportunity to admire the glorified result of this living art form. Superlatively designed and printed, Groomed is a wonderful coffee-table book for dog lovers and those who appreciate fine photography.
