U.S. based French photographer Sophie Gamand is still on the mission to challenge the often negative perception of Pit bulls. Since we covered her project "Flower Power, Pit Bulls Of The Revolution" 1,5 year ago, more than 140 shelter Pit bulls from her flowery photo series have found loving homes. Gamand also has nearly 70k followers on Instagram.
"This series has a strong, important message," Gamand told Bored Panda. "Between 800,000 and 1 million pit bull-type dogs are euthanized in America every year. Around the world, they suffer similar prejudice. My art project became a strong voice for these dogs. And people got really vested in the project. So now not only is my career in a great place, but I also have a strong following on social media, which allows me to adopt even more dogs out, and keep fighting the good fight for shelter dogs, pit bulls in particular." Gamand's campaign goes under #PitBullFlowerPower on social media.

This dog is sad, he/she has had a rough life or is missing their previous owners

This is a pit bull? All the photos are wonderful, but this one somehow stands out in how the photographer creates a human quality to her subjects... I can see this as a 19th century painting of an ingenue!

I KNOW!!!! I thought the snout was a little too long and narrow to be a pit... Whatever the case is, it doesn't matter. She's still beautiful.

They may have needed the noose leash to keep the dog in place for the picture, if they have gotten 150 Pitbulls adopted thru these pictures I have NO problem with them using the leash.

I soOOOo appreciate Ms. Gamand's efforts. Pit Bulls are one of the MOST intelligent, gentle and loyal canine companions in existence. Traits which have led to their ill-deserved reputations caused by irresponsible people/owners. If I were able, I'd offer a home to every one of these dogs, and then some! Beautiful work on behalf of wonderful dogs!
