Anastasiya Dobrovolskaya took 30 stunning photographs that capture the magical bond between humans and animals.

Humans and animals share a particular affinity, and few photographers are better at capturing it than Russian photographer Anastasiya Dobrovolskaya. The photographer creates fairytale-like photographs of people posing with animals, and her work is unique.

Anastasiya claimed both people and animals influence her in a recent interview with Bored Panda. A primary goal of her work is to highlight their originality and attractiveness on the outside and inside. “The major way I do this is by comparing their appearances. For example, I enjoy photographing humans with albinism with white animals, redheads with red-furred animals, and so on.”

One of the most enjoyable aspects of working with animals, according to Anastasiya, is that they bring a sense of kindness and reality into one’s life. “Everything they do and feel is real. “Before I started photographing animals, I had no idea there could be such a strong bond between humans and animals,” the photographer stated. “It still astounds me that ‘wild’ creatures can feel such intense attachment and trust in people.”
