For the past seven years, my passion for pet photography has driven me to capture not only the beauty of animals but also their unique personalities. In 2021, alongside Veronica Ershova, I embarked on an ambitious project to not only showcase a dog's character through emotions but to invent entirely new ones. And what better way to do this than by portraying them as the fastest dogs in the world? Thus, the concept of "Fast & Curious" was born, a portrait series where the four-legged protagonists transformed into racers, each with their distinct personalities. Staying true to my love for cartoon-style portraits, reminiscent of my childhood fascination with cartoon shows like “Speed Racer” and "Biker Mice from Mars", I chose to maintain that aesthetic for our canine racers.
However, outfitting dogs with helmets for their racing personas proved to be an impractical task. So, we asked for the professional help of CG artists, starting with Alexei Koler and Nikita Bulgakov, followed by the renowned POP Creative Studio from the UK.
To capture the essence of a racer, we opted for classic scooter helmets as the foundation for our designs. These helmets not only offered a comfortable fit but also added a touch of old-school charm to the project. Designing the helmets became a focal point of the process, with each one incorporating colors and elements inspired by the breed's characteristics or country of origin.
