Pet Photo Booth

091608dogface.jpgEverybody loves a pet portrait, right? We found these amusing images online - from a 2007 Australian-based photo project, "a labour of love" for artists Justin Spiers and Yvonne Doherty. Documenting owners and their pets, the duo believes that "the novelty settings and presence of pets seems to inspire their human companions to open up to the camera and the resulting portraits are engaging, funny and range from the beautiful to the bizarre." Take a peek:

It's a cool idea, but far from original and I've seen it done better. A photographer should know how to shoot a black dog proper.

If you want to see some pretty amazing photos of black dogs check out Shari Hatt:

They're unconventional but very evocative.

I agree with you, Kimber. The lighting is pretty bad.

I love the picture of the girl with her bunny, though!

I think they're all bizarre--no beautiful involved.

Kimber - I think that was the point.

They are all weird and a little funny, that's what I like about them.

Maggiesfarm, I totally get the concept. I just think it could have been MUCH better with a different lighting scheme.

These photos are how you do quirky shots with muted hues.

Just add pets ;)

(p.s. Aaron Ruell was the uber-nerdy brother in Napoleon Dynamite; he is responsible for the stills from the movie. Ridiculous film, but I love this photography.)

like the idea. but the lighting is bad. these may as well be polaroids. the girl with the bunny is my fave.

My friend was a volunteer helping out on this when it came to Perth, Western Australia. She picked up a lot of dog poo!
