Julia Christe is a German photographer specializing in photographing pets. One of her most recent works is a funny series in which the dogs are "flying".
The project began when the photographer decided she would like to capture pictures of her favorite animals from a new perspective. "Not every dog was born to fly, but some have a great talent and they are practically shooting stars. A few dogs had fun so much that we were able to repeat the jumps. The expressions on their faces mainly reflect the surprise of the first flight and, in most cases, the first jump gave the best pictures."
To achieve this, Julia used a mattress on the floor, where the dogs jump - being photographed exactly when they are in the air. The photographer made a whole scheme of security so that her models would not end up hurting themselves.
The result turned out to be an interesting one, showing the startled and excited expressions of dogs of various breeds.

Reminds me of the famous photo of Martin Van Buren, who looks like they just took him out of the washing machine.
You put your left leg in, your left leg out, you put your left leg in and you shake it all about...
I'm sorry. I have to misquote this film title, because in my dog's case it was true, White Dogs Can't Jump. Though in this little fella's case maybe they can but just don't want to!

Yep - that one is stuck in my head. Can't we get back to Major Tom?

Load More Replies...So, someone threw with dogs? Really curious how they can "fly" and if they chose to do so themselves
The explanation in the article that C copied does not explain how the photographer got the dogs to jump. Maybe someone who weighed more than the dogs jumped on a trampoline so the dogs flew up into the air.
Load More Replies...Went to the photographers website and there is a video of how she made Flying Cats. Someone drops them. Not from much of a height but the cats are great with this. I do feel less happy about the dogs being dropped as they don't have the natural ability that cats do for landing. I am sure great care was taken but... well, I am a tad uneasy now.
Agreed. The majority of the pooches are showing the whites of their eyes (or "whale eye") which they tend to do when distressed, nervous or afraid. :(
