For his latest project, titled "Reflection of Me," photographer Isaac Alvarez shot portraits of dogs and their owners, and then combined the dog heads with the owner bodies.

Every year, New York's dog owners get together at Tompkins Square Park for a different kind of Halloween parade—instead of humans wearing costumes, this one is all about the best-dressed pooch. But if you think it's all about the "aww," hold on a second, because these photos may be more sad than cute.

My name is Tracy Willis, and I'm a newborn photographer and digital artist based in Dorset, UK. For my personal project titled "Animal Antics," I create composite photos of my dogs doing various human activities.

Photographers lending their skills to try and help shelter dogs is nothing new, but Slovenian photographer Katja Jemec's series "I Looked Up and There You Were" offers a different perspective than we've seen before... literally.

I’m not ashamed to admit it. I regularly use my fancy camera to photograph my cats.

You probably do it too. A new lens or camera arrives in the mail and you immediately lose sight of all the daydreaming you’d done while waiting for your package to arrive. You may have envisioned yourself photographing a beautiful landscape or capturing that perfect moment in perfect lighting of a friend candidly laughing. Pet photography is the farthest thing from your mind. You tear off the bubble wrap and what do you shoot first? Cats.

18 months ago, 22-year-old photographer Rob Bahou started shooting a series of portraits focused on the two animals we know best: dogs and cats.

What resulted is a gorgeous and heart-warming project titled Animal Soul.

People often say that dogs and their owners look more and more alike as the years go by. For her ongoing project "The Dog People," German photographer Ines Opifanti is shooting portraits of dog owners trying to mimic the expressions on their dogs' faces.

If you're a dog lover, photographer Amanda Jones has a photo project that will tug at your heartstrings.

Photographer Andrew Fladeboe has spent years traveling to countries around the world with the goal of capturing the unique relationship between humans and dogs. His goal is to document the different ways cultures have come to rely on working dogs in shepherding livestock. The ongoing project is titled The Shepherd's Realm.

If there's one things dogs don't like, it's the Elizabethan collar, popularly known as the "cone of shame" or the "pet lamp-shade." It's a protective medical device that's also commonly used by owners to discipline dogs when they do something bad.

For his new project titled Timeout, photographer Ty Foster shot a series of portraits of dogs that captures the sadness and embarrassment caused by wearing the cone of shame.

"Dry Dog Wet Dog" is an ongoing project by Brisbane, Australia-based pet photographer Serenah Hodson. It's a series of side-by-side portraits showing dogs before and after they're soaked with water.
