Katerina Plotnikova is a Russian photographer based in Moscow, mostly known for her unbelievable photography featuring both models and animals. I mean… Models and animals together… In the same picture!

I know you are probably thinking that there must be some Photoshop magic behind all this, but trust me, what you are going to see in thise set of pictures is 100% real. Certainly some minor retouching has been made to adjust color tones and the overall atmosphere of the photos, but the models and the animals have been captured in the same frame.

They obviously needed the help of professional animal trainers in order to create this amazing piece of work, that not only has a great concept behind it, with wild and powerful animal nature opposed to the beauty and elegance of the models, but it’s also visually stunning, with a fairy tale-ish and magical atmosphere.

If you’d like to see more of Katerina’s work, take a look at her stunning portfolio on 500px and her Facebook page.
