Through my work in a Veterinary Referral Centre I was sent a link to the website for The Guardian newspaper showing dogs dressed as their owners. Swiss photographer Sebastian Magnani put together images of people with four legged friends to create a series called Underdogs.
I really like the fact that it is something a bit different, and how many times have you seen dog with its owner and thought they look similar.
Obviously Magnani has used photoshop and the dogs are not literally wearing the clothes. I think that this links with what I have been working towards with my final assignment. There is digital manipulation apparent here but as it is clear to the viewer it makes the images feel honest. As they are not being passed off as being something they are not I find this kind of alteration acceptable.
