Woman’s Photoshoot Of Her Three Dogs With Sunflowers Goes Hilariously Wrong When They Discover How Tasty The Flowers Are

Interview With Owner

Things don’t always go as smoothly as planned, but sometimes they can turn to something even better. This is what happened when Agnieszka Ciszyńska decided to photograph her three adorable White Swiss Shepherds in a sunflower field in Poland. The owner hoped for dreamy portraits with blooming sunflowers, but the photoshoot took an unexpected turn when the dogs, as it seemed, were more interested in how the flowers tasted than elegantly posing with them. The photos came out a little bit different than expected—one could call them a classic example of “Instagram vs. reality”: dog edition. But in the end, it exceeded expectations as she got genuine and unstaged portraits of dogs fooling around full of positivity and charm.

Ciszyńska shared the pictures on Facebook and it made everyone‘s day. Scroll down so it can brighten yours too!

“To be honest, we didn’t expect them to bring so much joy to others. And as it turned out, people loved the result—maybe in such hard times, a good laugh is what everybody needs,” Ciszyńska told Bored Panda.

Agnieszka Ciszyńska told Bored Panda that she initially intended to make a romantic photoshoot for her friends, and brought her dogs along not to miss an opportunity to photograph them, too.

She hoped for dreamy and elegant portraits

“We expected dreamy, beautiful portraits in sunflowers. But it turned out that a sunflower field is not an easy place to take photographs, especially if you’re not tall enough. And as big as our dogs are—we had to think of some way to make them reach the flowers. So our friend kindly agreed to be a chair for our dogs. Then we thought that Fenris was big enough to pose on his own—but standing on his rear legs, he looked more like a hungry dinosaur than a majestic wolf… We had lots of laughs and some of the pictures came out pretty funny.”

And even asked a friend to be a special “chair” because the sunflowers were too high

The dogs were more interested in playing around and munching on sunflowers than striking a nice pose

“Our dogs (White Swiss Shepherds) are very active, happy, and friendly. They love dog sports: dog frisbee, nosework, bikejoring, and herding. They are the kind of dogs that follow you everywhere, want to be a part of everything you do (and yes, you can forget about going to the bathroom alone).”

In their family, her husband, Michał, is responsible for taking photos as this is his true passion. He’s mostly a self-taught photographer. Ciszyńska takes care of all the post-production, which involves photo editing and putting them out into the world through social media management.

“The key to a good photoshoot is having your dogs trained to stay when you need a portrait, but also knowing when to relax and just have fun in any surroundings.”

Fenris, Björn, and Walkiria have been sharing their adventures from around the world, and the photos are breathtaking

“Our whole life is about our dogs. There are months that we have some sort of competition every weekend—our dogs love it and are very good at it. When we relax—we relax together, when we go on vacation—we go together. Our social media is not only about nice pictures—we want everyone to remember that dogs are family and that they should be part of the most important moments in life.”

“So far our biggest adventure was over a year ago, when we decided to spend 6 months traveling through Europe with the whole pack. We visited 13 countries, swam in the lakes and seas, hiked through mountains, slept on a beach in a tent, visited big cities and places where we couldn’t find another living soul. It was sometimes challenging, but amazing and it was the best time of our lives.”

There's nothing better than taking a well trained pack of dogs out on the opening day of sunflower hunting season. Beautiful dogs and pictures.

I was thinking that the entire time I was reading the article. The dogs are gorgeous and sweet, but if the owners just "borrowed" someone's sunflower fields without asking, then that's obnoxious as heck.

I admit that - with recent reports of farmers having to fence their sunflowers due to people damaging them in non-permitted photoshoots, and getting threatened over fencing in their sunflowers - my head was all "amazing dogs, hope they owned/had permission to be there before the dogs ate the flowers".
