When Moscow-based photographer Darya Kondratyeva isn’t snapping family, maternity or baby photos, she creates enchanting photos that seem like re-interpretations of old fairytales or legends. The animals-models in her photos seem like they could be witches, princesses or forest spirits.

She has recently sparked the internet with her photos of her models being with real animals. Darya Kondratyeva entire “Merida” collection (from Brave) is of the Russian cosplayer, Tina Rybakova, beside a real live brown bear. She also has a series of “Hera and the Harp”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, and “Red Sonja”.

Kondratyeva’s inclusion of animal subjects in her portraits add to the folkloric magic of the images. Trained animals such as bears, foxes, and owls interact playfully with the models, creating a fairytale world in which animals and humans speak, frolic, and live together in harmony.

Pairing perfectly dressed models with awesome REAL animals Darya Kondratyeva creates photos straight out of your wildest dreams. We are not talking about dogs and cats here, but bears, deer, camels, and more. Check out some of Kondratyeva’s amazing work.

The question is, are these animals mystified with the models beauty, superimposed, or just really well trained? For the sake of everyone’s safety involved, the animals featured in Kondratyeva’s photos are trained to interact with humans and are 100% real!

Kondratyeva titles her animals inspired photos under “Miracle,” and perhaps it is a miracle for a bear and a human to become the best of friends.
