Known best for his fashion photography occasionally featuring a barnyard animal, Korkil Gudnason delights with his portrayal of bourgeois dogs. Inspired by the groomed puppies at a dog show he attended, the photographer has created this farcical reel of canine portraits adorned with wigs and jewels.
As a parody of the expression that dog owners often resemble their pets, Gudnanson has given each of these bourgeois dogs fitting hairstyles that look distinctly human -- and might I say, quite fetching!
