Amazing Photo Series Features Subjects Posing With Wild Animals

Russian photographer Katerina Plotnikova is an admirer of the natural world, a lover of animals and wilderness who decided to cast both alongside the human subject in her latest photo series.

The photos may look photoshopped, but they’re not- the animals are able to take part in these shoots thanks to on-location animal trainers who help keep them calm while the shot is taken, resulting in a very casual and stress free environment for the animals.

Katerina’s series is full of mysteriously beautiful moments where model and creature meet for the first time, both gentle members of the natural world meeting without fear of harm.
