Animals are allowed to be fed
21-year-old photographer Konsta Punkka from Finland has a unique talent for getting along with forest animals. In winter and summer, he feeds them from his hands and creates lively and extremely cute photographs from angles that are unusual for people. With the help of a phone or a camera, Punkka, or “squirrel charmer”, as he calls himself, takes pictures of animals looking into the lens with curiosity from a very close distance, sometimes at arm's length. Birds, squirrels, deer and even predatory foxes and arctic foxes make contact with the photographer, who offers them various delicacies.
Punkka is careful not to disturb or harm the animals as much as possible. He tries not to feed the animals within the city, so that they do not again come to the same place in search of food and are not in danger. Also, the photographer takes care of the natural diet of his charges and does not overfeed them.
