Deborah Schoen-Weekly Post 8

Photographer Chris Cline has produced large-format surrealist-like images of his relationship with his dog Juji. Using Photoshop, Cline’s photographs are scenes that humorous and touching. His focus on scale provides a  beautiful and convincing series.
 
Cline’s theme is a story that any animal lover can relate to. His colorful images are of his relaxing and playful moments with his fury friend. Cline’s attention to body movement, facial expression, lighting, and compositional elements create entertaining scenes.
I am a dog-lover and the sight of Cline’s images warmed my heart. By enlarging Juji just enough to be a friendly companion, Cline is able to share moments that reflect the time and effort caring for an animal involves. Meanwhile, Juji's huge stature may represent the dominance he has over Cline's household.
