Dogs fly through the air and strike a pose in hilarious photos

Colin Crowdey, 53, is known as 'The Gloucester Dog Photographer' and is renowned for his funny photos.

The pet photographer snapped the animals from underneath a glass plate, giving the unusual perspective that the dogs are flying through the air.

He explained: "It's essentially a giant coffee table so it's a piece of glass that is safe for the dogs and there's a remote controlled camera underneath.

"I stand there with squeaky toys and treats because they have to look down otherwise you just get chins.

"It's quite different for dogs because most don't really stand on glass. Dogs with long legs can be particularly challenging!

"Dalmatians have a high centre of gravity because of their long legs so you have to be really careful otherwise you get splayed legs!"

Colin set up his own custom-built studio in Gloucester five-years-ago. He said: "You do get the odd diva dog. I do about 25 dogs a week, every week so it's a lot of dogs!

"You have got to have a lot of patience and I don't often get stressed but sometimes in this job you do!"
