The photos come from Burba’s Under-Dogs book. He reveals that though his cat and dog projects were comparable, he had the most fun with dogs.

“Cats were very cute but dogs are more playful,” Burba wrote in an article for Bored Panda. “Dogs are more obedient which helps us to create more interesting shots.”

That is evident by checking out the awkward looking pup above.

“While some dogs were playful on the ground they have completely changed on the glass and stood still like a rock,” Burba said.

“Others weren’t afraid of standing above which was easy and fun to work with,” he said.

Burba said there are two main things he has learned from photographing the underside of animals.

“First, cats think they are gods, since people feed, love and give them homes,” Burba explains. “Secondly, dogs see human as a god as they feed, love and give them homes.”

Read that twice if you have to.

To get the perfect shot, Burba had to have a custom designed manufactured glass table made for the series in order to support the weight and size of bigger dogs.

    He is not too bad thank you. Just had another nose bleed. He feels a bit weak. The one at 1.30 am was awful. Hope you both are ok. Just been out with Sophie and it has turned very cold. Xx
