Photographer Gets Up Close And Personal To Capture Dogs' Expressions

Elke Vogelsang has taken dog portraits to a new level.

After buying a compact camera a few months ago, the photographer from Hildesheim, Germany, decided to use it to start a photo series, Nice Nosing You, in which she takes humorous photos of her three rescue dogs, Today reported.

Vogelsang puts her pups in front of a dark garden shed and lies on the ground to get as close as she can with her camera to capture each dog's natural expressions -- usually focusing on their snout, Today reported.

The photographer is working on turning the photo series into a book and has started to take photos of other animals -- including horses!

"I love photography with every beat of my heart," Vogelsang wrote on her website. "It is my ambition to show my verve and my love through my photos thus creating truly individual and impressive pictures, that elate you the same as me when I am on the set."
