Bristol, England-based photographer Peter Thorpe has a special treat for his clients every holiday season. For the past 20 years, he has sent hilarious promo Christmas cards featuring his dogs as different animals in elaborate handmade scenes.
What’s interesting about Thorpe’s images is that, through the years, he has continued to create the scenes using sets and props rather than digital trickery in Photoshop.
Here’s a collection of photos that have appeared on his cards over the years:
As a bonus, here are some behind-the-scenes shots showing how elaborate the sets and props have been:

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
