Vintage Portraits of Bulldogs in Costumes from the early 1900s

As you might have noticed we love everything to do with cats, dogs and pets in general; on top that photography is our great passion so… if you combine the two what is it that you get? cute pet photos! :)

Pretty much every pet owner has hundreds of cute and funny pictures of their animals in different situations or wearing funny costumes. If you think, however, that dressing up our pets and taking photos of them is quite a recent invention – you’re wrong! Take a look at those amazing portraits of bulldogs dressed up as different characters – these were taken in the early 1900s!

These photographs are a part of the collection at the Library of Congress. We salute the photographers who took them – their cameras didn’t have picture stabilisers and other fancy auto-focus mechanisms, so we’re guessing it had been quite a challenge to keep the pooches still for long enough!

If you’re a fan of dog photos you might want to check out our previous post about Seth Casteel’s Underwater Dog Photography Project or visit Tessa’s lovely blog to read about the fantastic photography album The French Dog by Rachael Mckenna or find out about Gerrard Gething’s inspirations for his dog photography projects; read Q&A post here.

Underwater Dog Photography

It’s been one of the recent viral infections in the internet so most of you would’ve seen it but those of you who haven’t – make sure you scroll all the way down to the end of this post – you won’t regret it!

Little Friends Photography is a new online business selling prints of pet photos. However cute the name is one wouldn’t think it would be a really big thing.. and this is when one would be wrong.

Seth Casteel is a photographer who loves dogs, has two of his own, and not so long ago really struggled to pay for a new piece of equipment – a waterproof camera. He really didn’t expect it to be one of the best investments he could’ve made!

Almost immediately after completing the series of underwater dog photos he began receiving information on the huge numbers of likes and shares on Facebook his works were getting and he didn’t have to wait long for orders for his prints to start flying in!

When we’ve seen the photos here we really understood why the world’s gone a bit crazy about Seth Casteel’s work – see for yourself. There is a nice article about him in Huffington Post.

You can feel that this photo shoot was so enjoyable for both the furry models and the photographer; this is what I love the most about it – Seth and the dogs had so much fun and the results are amazing! You first notice how wild and dangerous the dogs look and then you notice a colourful ball and you get what it’s all about :)
