Meet Ryuji Dog, The Most Expressive Shiba From Japan

Meet Ryuji Dog, The Most Expressive Shiba From Japan

Meet Ryuji, a 7-year-old Shiba Inu pup whose ‘macho’ expressions are taking over Instagram. Life’s ruff when you’re this emotional.

The Okayama canine serves face to some 127 thousand followers every day, and it’s hard not to fall in love with such a fluffy, cuddly-looking character. His distinctive tongue and grin say more than words ever could, and he always sports a dapper bandanna – even a small hat when the mood strikes!
Shiba Inus are a uniquely Japanese breed known for their good nature. They shot to superstardom in 2013 when a female Shiba become the face of the infamous Doge meme. If he keeps charming the world with his adorable daily adventures, Ryuji just might become a meme himself very soon.

I Photograph Dogs From Underneath

I Photograph Dogs From Underneath

I am presenting the Under-dogs project.

Under-cats, Under-rabbits and Under-horse projects are the projects that had been published before. Pets photographed from the underneath on a black background somehow have become my signature artwork.

This time it is dog lovers’ turn! The actual project was photographed a year ago. However, we were patiently waiting until now as we wanted to present the results along with the publication of Under-dogs book.

This project is most comparable with the Under-Cats. Cats were very cute but dogs are more playful. Dogs are more obedient which helps us to create more interesting shots. While some dogs were playful on the ground they have completely changed on the glass and stood still like a rock. Others weren’t afraid of standing above which was easy and fun to work with. I learned two main things from these photo shoots. First, cats think they are gods, since people feed, love and give them homes. Secondly, dogs see human as a god as they feed, love and give them homes. Probably you had to read that twice.
For the Under-dogs project I have designed a specially manufactured glass table in order to photograph bigger dogs. After capturing Under-dogs, I decided to go full-time on the following projects of Underlook. In our future plans - Tigers.
Today I am also presenting a release of my second book with dogs. Books can be bought on Amazon and it is shipped worldwide. You can also see a backstage video on my Youtube channel.

Handsome Animals Who Are Always Ready to Pose for the Camera

Handsome Animals Who Are Always Ready to Pose for the Camera


Until recently, it was thought that animals couldn’t smile and that their expressions were no more than reflexes moving their facial muscles. But several new studies, including Dr. Nicholas H. Dodman’s research, confirm that animals are expressing happiness when they smile — just like human beings. And it’s not just about happiness. Animals can also feel and express emotions like fear, sadness, anger, jealousy, and embarrassment. They’ve even got a sense of humor and the ability to laugh.
