Hungarian photographer Flóra Borsi is an eyeful. Animeyed, her latest project, features animals superimposed over self-portraits so that the two faces overlap, sharing one eye in common. The surreal effect is compounded by Borsi’s use of colors and props to make her look more like the creature sharing the photo.
Borsi is no amateur photographer. Her work has been featured at the Saatchi Gallery, at the Louvre.

My name is JK Brown. I live in rural West Wales. This peaceful part of the country is known for being a precious habitat for its native wildlife, which is of constant inspiration to me. I can remember I have been drawing, making and creating as a way of celebrating the beauty of nature. Sometimes fly-tipped or washed up on beaches, I patiently reassemble these pieces into monuments to the natural world around me: a habitat that is becoming increasingly fra

Daniel Taylor wanted to create the smoke effects on animals he used on some few of his female subjects. The hardest part was that while there were only faces, here there was the whole body that needed to be “smokeified”.

My name is Jo Chorny also known as peaceofpaper, and I create art by cutting paper with a scalpel. My favourite way of photographing my papercuts is to hold them against the sky; I love the dramatic effect this gives, and the variation of colours and textures in the sky as a backdrop. Plus this way you can see my intricate cutting more clearly.

Crows are extraordinarily intelligent creatures, but this means that they can be devious little devils, too. One annoying and clever behavior that they’re all prone to is biting other, larger animals’ tails and backing off when they try to retaliate, making them the supreme trolls of the animal kingdom.

We recently moved out to the country and began a small hobby farm. I am a lover of furry critters and photography so I knew I had to come up with a fun way to combine these two passions. Animals can be very tricky subjects to photograph but if you take your time and have fun the results can be nothing short of overwhelming cuteness! Over the last two years I have had so much fun photographing all different animals in party hats, crowns and more to show how two simple things brought together...

I live in a crowded city and that can sometimes make me feel alienated. Especially when I see how the world is shaped by a passion for consumption. To cope with this fragmentation, I retreat to mountains for summer months. Nature helps me reconnect to the things that matter, and eases the sense of isolation. For me solitude is a gateway to creativity. My art is a response to social alienation. What we have is time and space to use creativity in becoming better. When using the metal pieces I...

Many of us see animals as human beings’ equals, so it’s only natural that some photographers see them this way as well. Vincent Lagrange, a photographer in Antwerp, Belgium, captured the human side of animals by taking serious and dignified portraits of the sort that us humans like to take of each other. His photo series is called “Human Animal.” “I tried to photograph the animals as humans, depicting their emotion and human-like characteristics in a sombre way,” Lagrange told Yatzer. And...

If you thought balloon animals are simply a fairground novelty, then Japanese artist Masayoshi Matsumoto has some balloon animal art to show you. Perhaps the most impressive thing about them is that Masayoshi uses only balloons – no tape or markers. Yes, there’s even a way to make those detailed eyes using nothing but balloons!

I am Norvile Dovidonyte, an artist from Lithuania. I work primarily with watercolors and ink. I can’t imagine my day without a cup of coffee and strange, beautiful things, which inspire me to create playful characters. I’m inspired by all kinds of things: people, nature, daily life, fairy tales, childhood memories and children’s books! Watercolors are my medium of choice and I enjoy working with it. The colors always blend in fresh and surprising ways, which I love.

Ecuador is a beautiful country filled with stunning natural environments, and is also one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. When Ecuador’s Tourism Board wanted a new ad campaign to represent these facts, Brazilian creative agency Manipula came up with the perfect solution, creating a series of stunning photos of submerged creatures whose exposed body parts have transformed into parts of the most significant natural areas – the Amazon, the Andes, the Pacific coast and the...

These animals are not zombies. For most creatures of the animal kingdom, even the fiercest carnivore, the calories of a sweet berry might be too tasty to resist. The strawberries and raspberries pictured here are safe for most animals.

These surprising photos show masses of butterflies interacting with various animals. But why do they do it, especially with such risk to themselves? One answer is that butterflies typically swarm during migration, and these pictures capture such a moment. The other answer is that butterflies can't get all the minerals they need from flowers, making them attracted to things that are salty.

Amezaiku, the art of making realistic animal lollipops, has been a Japanese tradition since the 8th century, but 26 year-old Shinri Tezuka is the young master making it famous again. There is no cheap or convenient way to mass produce the candy, and the artists have to endure painful heat when working the hot candy by hand.

Moscow-based tattoo artist Lesha Lauz’s (a.k.a. Alexey) eye-catching tattoos, bursting with color, have one “problem” – they’re glitchy! Instead of clashing with his colorful and fluid artwork, the “digital glitches” he adds to his tattoos give them an additional layer of vitality and color. He calls his style “Pixel & Glitch.”

As Charles Darwin described in his study about the existence and nature of emotions as expressed both by humans and animals, emotions are a natural part of the living creatures. Although there might be some slight differences between emotions of animals and humans, yet, they are quite similar. Here are some of the most touching photos of newborn animals in the wild which clearly express that animals, too, can show how tender and caring they are as mothers and fathers to their babies.

Given the importance we affix to looking someone (or something) else in the eyes, it's no wonder that heterochromic creatures, or creatures with two different eye colors, are so striking. Though heterochromia is fairly rare in humans, its occurrence is far higher among animals, especially cats. Take a look!

I know that childhood is a time when kids form their own identities, but when my kid acts like an animal by drinking from a dogbowl and pees on fire hydrants, I ask myself – what have I done wrong? These kids have decided that being human is not quite what they were cut out for, and that they'd rather be animals instead.

Animal photography requires a lot of patience and accuracy. Sometimes photographers need to spend many hours to take good animal shots and even longer to take impressive ones. Animals do whatever they like to, so, unfortunately, you can't ask them to pose the way you want or to do something interesting. All you can do is wait and be prepared for the right moment. This is what happens, though, when photographers take a step away from their equipment and let animals to take it over.
