Likely Scenario A: You just bought a brand new chair. Likely Scenario B: You just had one perfectly reupholstered. INEVITABLE Scenario C: ‘Fido’ finds the chair & decides this is going to be his new perch...

Actually, this portrait is the professional handiwork of #PaulCroes & #IngeNelis, @paulcroesphotography the duo at Behind Eyes studio, who bring fine #photography to the animal world & whose patience must exceed all bounds. Working through long hours & countless doggie treats, they’ll do whatever it takes in order to get the perfect shots.

Amazingly, animals have a profound effect on our psyche. Pets are basically like family members these days, and the presence of animals & our relationship to them can be seen all throughout #history. Today, #marketers use them as #subliminal ploys in #advertising, and #TVshows often work animals or pets into the script as a way to boost ratings. The reason is simply because it’s how humans are #wired. Our attraction to animals is part of our #DNA. By nature, the visual aspect triggers an automatic/emotional response in our brain making the impression more meaningful, its message more appealing & overall, is more likely to be stored in our long-term memory drawer instead of the recycle bin.

On the topic of #portraits - If you think a photo-op session takes forever, just imagine if you were an artist back in the day? We’ve gathered some #historical #paintings of various individuals who also wanted to immortalize their beloved animals in these #FineArt portrayals. Take a look! 🙈🐶🐱🐕
