Photographer Captures Animals From Below, And The Results Are Equal Parts Wholesome And Hilarious
It all began with one curious photo. A cat sat on a glass table, paws flattened like tiny jellybeans, its fur fanned out beneath the surface.
Most people laughed, hit like, and kept scrolling. But for Lithuanian photographer Andrius Burba, that quirky snapshot sparked a bigger idea — what if this playful perspective could become an art form?
That spark led to Underlook, a project unlike anything else in animal photography. Burba began photographing pets from below, using glass panels and clever lighting to reveal details most of us never notice.
Cats, dogs, rabbits, even horses... each creature appears weightless, floating in midair, their paws pressed gently against the invisible floor. From mischievous cats to majestic horses, every image captures a mix of humor, elegance, and raw personality.
What makes Underlook so striking is its honesty. There’s no perfect pose or polished backdrop, just bellies, whiskers, and soft underpaws on full display. Burba transforms the ordinary into something magical, showing familiar pets in a completely new light.
Over time, the project has grown into a global sensation, earning millions of admirers online. It reminds us that creativity doesn’t always mean inventing something new; sometimes, it’s about seeing the familiar from a fresh angle.

Burba’s Underlook reminds us that art doesn’t always need a grand concept. Sometimes, it’s as simple as flipping the view. His photos capture that mix of humor and tenderness every pet owner recognizes — the small details that make each creature special.
In a world full of curated perfection, these candid, underside views offer something real: joy, surprise, and a reminder to look twice before assuming you’ve seen it all.
If these photos made you smile, share them — because everyone deserves to see the world, and their pets, from a brand-new angle.
