French photographer Sophie Gamand explores the human-dog bond with a series of portraits of dogs being washed during their grooming sessions.

Photographer Gamand catches the dogs at a vulnerable moment during their baths: seconds before they shake the water off their fur.

As illustrated here, Gamand captures a dog's indignant expression as he succumbs to being bathed.

Gamand worked with groomer and pet stylist Ruben Santana to catch the dogs' emotions just after they get water poured on them.

With shots like this one, Gamand, who lives in New York, explores the bond between dogs and their human companions.

Gamand wanted to illustrate the close bond that dogs and their owners have cultivated, especially in New York City where services for pets are numerous.

Gamand believes that dogs deserve to be photographed with the same care as humans.

With her Wet Dog series, Gamand questions the act of dog grooming and why humans alter their pets' appearances to fit certain standards of hygiene and beauty.
