Moscow-based Darya Kondratyeva is a professional photographer capturing weddings, pregnancy, and birth moments for her clients. Kondratyeva often uses her lens to transport her models into a fantasy land where wild animals and humans live in harmony.
It’s amazing how none of these animals were Photoshopped into the picture. She must have some brave models.
Kondratyeva only uses animals who were specifically trained to work with humans for her enchanting photography.

I don’t know what is more impressive: the animals’ ability to pose for the camera, or the models’ ability to pose with the wild animals. Trained or not, I would still be way too nervous to look as ethereal as these lovely ladies manage. You can find more of Darya’s amazing photography on her website.
