Swiss commercial photographer and graphic designer Sebastian Magnani came up with the idea for his hilarious Underdogs series back in 2009 because he wanted to have a photo of his girlfriend and his beloved dog. But instead of shooting a portrait of them hanging out together or placing pictures of them side-by-side in a frame, he decided to manipulate photos of both, taken in the basement of his mother’s home, into a single, merged image. The results are just as weird as you might imagine (we’re kind of curious what she thinks of the concept!), but they’re also incredibly clever and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Click through to check out the initial photo manipulation, as well as some more recent additions to the on-going series, and brace yourselves: apparently he plans to try this with cats and other animals next.
