For fans who loved bestsellers like Underwater Dogs and Shake comes Flying Dogs , a fun and stunning photography book capturing adorable dogs from a unique mid-air.
Inspired by her Frisbee-loving pup, Flinn, photographer Julia Christe set out to photograph the athleticism and freedom of dogs leaping in mid-air. She published some of these images of airborne canines digitally, and they quickly went viral with features in The Guardian , Huffington Post , and on the Today show.
The delightful result prompted her to capture other dogs from this hilarious and unique perspective. Featuring over 120 airborne dogs of all breeds and sizes—from the tiniest of Chihuahuas to full-grown Siberian Huskies and German Shepherds— Flying Dogs is the delightful, swooping sensation that will have dog lovers laughing out loud and begging for more! (And never No dogs were harmed in the making of this book.)
First of all this book's title is a misnomer for the dogs truly aren't flying even as much as the author would like to imply that. Pups in the Air could have worked or something else that would have given a better idea than what has already been implied by the collection of the book.
Basically this is just one large photo book that is based upon real actual dogs who for the most part were dropped from their owners' embraces onto a mattress while the camera was rolling to catch the face. Due to other effects like fans there are some pretty interesting pictures, especially with the longer haired breeds and one poor adorable fellow whose teeth are showing. Sadly, though, unlike other similar books this one doesn't have an index with the name of the dog and/or its breed for those who may be interested.
All in all it was okay for a look-through but really nothing I would recommend unless you either enjoy just plain photographs, puppy pics and/or are interested in duplicating the photographer's photo style. Otherwise a coffee table may be a generous enough spot to set it if you dare.
