Coexist 4 is a composite of two images. I was unable to photograph this image in one capture due to the inquisitive personality of the raccoon, she had a complete hug on Jaz (human) completely covering her face. In order to demonstrate the moment in time accurately, they were separated, this action engaged them to connect more intensely.
The photoshoot took around 6 hours, excluding pre & post-production, due to the intricate body/hair painting and styling. I photographed these images in 2014 and composited the images recently. This is a sequel to my multi-award-winning Ani-Human series.
