Ever wondered what your cat—or dog, rabbit, or even horse—looks like from below? Photographer Andrius Burba has, and he turned that curiosity into a full-on photographic adventure called Underlook. The concept is simple but brilliant: animals stand (or lounge) on glass while Burba snaps their bellies, paws, hooves, and whatever else happens to be in view.
The results are surprisingly mesmerizing. From fluffy rabbit feet pressed against the glass to a dog’s weight distribution, and even the intricate textures of scales and fur, these bottom-up animal portraits give us a peek at angles we usually miss. Burba isn’t just chasing “cute” or “funny” shots—he’s inviting us to rethink how we see the animals in our lives.
Even if you live with your pets, you’re probably used to seeing them straight-on or from above. Underlook changes that. Suddenly, a cat folding its paws or a horse balancing on tiny contact points becomes fascinating. The stark black background of Burba’s setup makes every detail pop, letting us study anatomy, textures, and movements in a way that’s both playful and educational.
It’s a fresh reminder that the world—and our furry (or scaly) friends—are full of surprises if we just look from a different angle. Andrius Burba’s Underlook is exactly that: playful, eye-opening, and totally Instagram-worthy.
