Russian Photographer Captures Fairytale Portraits With Animals

Taking pictures of animals is one thing but making sure everything goes well when a model shares the spot is a feat altogether. Moscow-based event photographer Darya Kondratyeva uses animals often in many family-based portraits she captures from toddlers with ducks to expectant mothers holding tiger cubs. What makes the fairytale setting in this collection impressive are the details given to each scene from the model lookalikes to the massive bear in the Brave-inspired cosplay. The natural surroundings provide an incredible backdrop to the spell-binding portraits that perfectly captures what these fairytale characters would have looked with their animal friends in the real world.
