Imaginary pals are an enormous a part of childhood — believing in them with all of your coronary heart, seeing them when no person else does, and creating whole worlds the place creativeness feels fully actual. DOGSITTERS is devoted to all the kids who dream of getting a pet: you dream about it, you beg your mother and father, you think about your self as a proud canine proprietor, strolling your new finest good friend via town and occurring adventures collectively. And when the true pet isn’t there but, creativeness can take over.
So, we took that dream a little bit additional. Impressed by these cinematic scenes of canine walkers and canine sitters on the enduring streets of New York, we reimagined them via the eyes of kids — with floating balloon canine turning into their imaginary four-legged companions.
Vogue, childhood goals, humor, and a little bit little bit of the grotesque all got here collectively on the streets of Chelsea. We spent the morning wandering via the neighborhood with our uncommon floating companions, amassing smiles, curious appears to be like, and numerous compliments alongside the way in which. Even the true canine appeared occupied with assembly them.
The result’s humorous and barely surreal, however on the similar time extremely honest. As a result of beneath the exaggerated imagery is one thing each little one understands: the power to dream about one thing so deeply that, for a second, it turns into actual.
Generally all you want is a leash, a floating canine, a little bit creativeness, and the streets of New York.
