Animals as humans
A funny series of animal portraits was created by Russian photographer Svetlana Valiyskaya from St. Petersburg. Photos with pets in colorful costumes depicting the daily life of people, 27-year-old Svetlana took in her free time from her main job. A hamster lifting weights, a cat reading a newspaper, and her other works cannot but evoke positive emotions.
Svetlana began to acquire her first experience as a photographer from the moment she bought her first camera, and her beloved cat Vasilisa played the role of the first “model”. Now her pictures began to gain more and more popularity not only in Russia, but also abroad.
