Darya Kondratyeva, a Russian photographer, decided to give classic fairytales a modern twist using real wild animals to prove that these fairytale heroines could be totally bad-ass. Mission accomplished, Darya! The photographer opened up to Cosmopolitan about the shoot and animals: "They were all very sweet and listened very carefully to directions. Honestly, they were easier to work with than some of the models." LOL! She also said that these women are just regular women - none had been trained in working with wild animals but they were all up to the task. It resulted in a beautiful photo series. Check it out:
