Teen Girl Shoots Beautiful and Creative Portraits of Her Pet Dogs

Her two main photo subjects are her two dogs: a Golden Retriever named Chuppy and an Australian Shepherd named Daisy. Over the past few years, Trinh has captured hundreds of beautiful and creative portraits of her furry happy-go-lucky friends, aided by her keen eye for spotting gorgeous lighting and happy expressions. We dare you not to smile as you look through the images in this post. Trinh writes, Ever since I set my hands on a camera, I knew I had unlocked a new dimension. For more of these photographs, head on over to Trinh’s Flickr photostream. Update: Trinh has informed us that the 8th photo in this set, the one with the butterfly, is actually a digital composite.
