Canadian wedding photographer and filmmaker Zachary Rose (23) takes the common saying about pets and their owners to the next step.
Zachary shoots an photograph of a pet using a DSLR and then takes another photo holding the DSLR in a specific way so the head of the pet seems attached to the body of the pet's owner.
Zach (@zachdriftwood on Instagram) than uploads the photos to Instagram with the #petheadz hashtag.

London based artist, Slinkachu, uses model humans and everyday objects to create and photographs alternate happenings that may have been in your everyday-normal street.
In his project titled Little People, Slinkachu creates tiny installations of small people and leaves them on the street (as his clever tag line goes - Abandoning little people since 2006).
While the installations are an art by themselves, the photos of those installations are an important part of the art.
Each project is accompanied by a set of images (usually 3 ) showing the world (1) as seen by a fellow little person, (2) as seen by us humans, and (3) something in between. Here are the ones that go with the title image: Click to continue ›
The image is not a screenshot from a class b horror movie showing an opening to hell, though with the temperatures and winds it captured it very well might have been. This unearthly hurricane eye is a staggering 1,250 miles across with cloud speeds as fast as 330 miles per hour.
This photograph of a Saturnian Hurricane (higher res here) was captured in November 2012 by Cassini, an unmanned spacecraft orbiting Saturn since 2004. (Launched by NASA in October 1997).
Photographer Anick Morel takes a new twist on the old burning lightbulb photograph. Instead of photographing the bulb in profile, she places a glass above the broken bulb and photographs the smoke formations caused from hitting the glass.
To illustrate the process, here is a diagram that explains the setup: Click to continue ›
Swedish photographer Christian Åslund was fascinated with the view seen from the elevated sky scrapers in Hong Kong. The idea of arcade-like views was later sold to shoe maker Jim Ricky and a campaign was born. It was fascinating to learn how the idea was conceived and executed from start to finish. The actual shoot took only four days (2 scouting, 2 shooting), a team of three and was done with a single camera and lens: Nikon 3Ds with a 70-200mm f2.8 lens on the tele side. More photos and some insights after the jump. Click to continue ›
Here is what happens when great talents are combined with great resources. Physician and astrophotographer Robert Gendler was granted access to the Hubble Space Telescope archives (actually we all are)
Instead of stitching an image made solely from the Hubble data, Robert filled in the blanks with photographs he and a fellow astrophotographer taken in New Mexico. The result is a glorious photostitch of the M106 galaxy. Click to continue ›
As a kid I was fascinated with M.C. Escher's drawings. I was intrigued by the intertwining details, if you've never heard of of M.C. Escher, or just want to reminisce, I highly recommend getting one of his books.
Russian Photographer Alexey Menschikov is doing something similar with his photographs. Alexey creates all kinds of intriguing graphic shadow art. His subjects, including groups of pigeons, cats, dogs, and even people, are all perfectly placed with shadows perfectly cast. The sharp contrast of black and white tones along with Menschikov's composition create a visual pattern of shapes in both the negative and positive spaces. Click to continue ›
One of the nice things about how the online photography community is the frictionless flow of information and knowledge. Where talented photographers share not only their pictures, but also their motivation, setups and considerations for making a shoot.
Take this blog post and video by Benjamin Von Wong (who's been featured quite a bit on the blog) describing a shoot of a charcoal covered stripper.
In the following post, Tomer Jacobson interviews AimishBoy (aka Nadav Bagim).
Every once in a while a photographer comes along and makes you drop your jaw. You stare flabbergasted at the screen and for long minutes try to understand how the hell did they accomplish this shot. How he had you stop and marvel a new thing after you think you've seen it all.
This is exactly what happened to me (Tomer Jacobson) when I saw the amazing pictures of AimishBoy for the first time. Click to continue ›
