Ballet Dancing with Canine Friends

This beautiful set of images capture the moment a young ballet dancer interacts with her four-legged friends against some iconic backdrops including the Church of the Savior on Blood and the Admiralty building in Saint Petersburg. The enchanted photos were taken by Andrey Seliverstov, 59 from Saint Petersburg, Russia. He captured the scenes of nine-year-old Maria Palkina and her canine friends after being inspired by famous artists. Andrey said: “It’s not an easy task to photograph both children and dogs. And of course for a person who has been photographing dogs for the last 20 years – it’s more difficult to work with kids, especially when they are so young”.
