Pictures of Animals Posing as Humans by Svetlana Valyiskaya
It’s often said that pets and their owners can
start to look alike, but these adorable photographs take the old mantra
to a new extreme. They are the work of Svetlana Valyiskaya (27), from St
Petersburg, who snaps pets in everyday poses in her spare time from her
job as a commercial photographer. The vibrant costumes and scenes,
which Svetlana designs herself, have made the photos a hit in her native
Russia – and it’s not hard to see why. She said: “I really love
animals, they are loyal, faithful and true and always interesting to
work with – plus they never criticise the photographs afterwards”.
