The Incredible Bond Between Animals And People Captured In The Magical Photography Style Of This Artist (41 New Pics)

The photographer states she works closely with the zookeepers and the animals at a Russian zoo called Kovcheg Zoo. So, I imagine the animals are acclimated to humans and are partially trained/tame. Owls are not usually as "grippy" with their talons as their larger raptor cousins are (hawks, falcons, eagles), so it may be that the owl was taught to gently rest on the shoulder or arm of its trainers rather than grip with its talons :) It's also possible that there is padding underneath the fabric of the dress, but the fabric is colored to look like flesh under lace - so we can't tell that there is padding at all.

According to the photographer's website, they provide the costumes for people who buy their photography services. "...costumes for photo shoots are provided by designer Elena Rezanova. We have more than 50 children's and adult costumes up to size 62. The cost of the photo session always includes the delivery of the costume to the location. In most cases, delivery is carried out by the designer himself, who, if necessary, will "fit" the suit according to the figure."

But she has arms?

I think it comes down to bad phtotoshop on this one. Yes it feels too washed out because of too many similar color tones, the light flares on the left are clearly effect additions, the repeated texture on the right needs to be fixed, etc etc. The woman and dogs are beautiful I think the editor should have made the background darker to help them stand out. I feel like the photographer really wanted a "golden hour" type pic but missed the timing and decided to cheese it with editing but just didn't get it quite right.

Then don't say it? 🙃
