Have you ever dreamed of using real animals in your images? Katerina Plotnikova is a photographer from Moscow who is famous for her surrealistic portraits that incorporate a variety of animals. She pushes the limits of possibility to create these unique combinations of both reality and surrealism:
However, the twist is that none of Plotnikova’s images have been Photoshopped. Instead, she works with professional animal trainers in order to stage her images.
Her most prominent image features a bear, which often symbolizes strength and instinct, contrasting with her elegant female model. Her photos have a touch of magic; they seem to create original fairytales.
Plotnikova uses a Canon 5D Mark II and a 50mm lens for much of her work.
