New Portraits of Fashionably Dressed Wildlife and Floral Bouquets by Miguel Vallinas. Photographer's Incredible Portraits of the Suri Tribe in Ethiopia. “Tribal Allure” Macedonian-Australian photographer Biljana Jurukovski has been fascinated by different cultures since childhood. For the past five years, she has focused her craft on taking moving portraits of different cultures around the world. In particular, her Tribal Muse series hones in on the beauty of the Surma tribe—and more specifically the Suri. Living on the border of Ethiopia and South Sudan, the Suri is one of three ethnicities—together with the Me'en and Mursi– that the Ethiopian government classifies as the Surma Tribe. Living in villages of anywhere from 40 to 2,500, the Suri are agropastoralists who live in remote locations that keep them largely cut off from the rest of the world. Risking safety to travel to areas where inter-tribal fighting is still common, Jurukovski has visited the Suri many times.
We had a chance to speak with Jurukovski just prior to a new trip to Ethiopia. “Close to My Heart” Stunning Photo Highlights the Diverse Beauty of Foxes. You’re probably familiar with the common red fox, but did you know there are many other fox species around the world that have their own distinct shade of fur?
Moscow-based photographer Anastasiya Dobrovolskaya decoded to capture the diverse beauty of the mystical forest creatures in a recent image, titled Autumn Equinox, featuring three women holding three different colored foxes. From left to right, the stunning image showcases an all-white arctic fox, a red fox with a white-tipped tail, and a silver fox with a black/gray coat. The female models in the photo mirror the three foxes’ shades with their own hair color and contrasting clothing, highlighting the diversity found in both people and nature. Dobrovolskaya admittedly loves “complex, elaborate images, beautiful dresses and accessories, shooting with animals.” Given her preference for shooting in nature, the talented photographer also captures the beauty of other animals, including swans, horses, and even grizzly bears.

Wildlife Photographer Promotes Lion Conservation With Stunning Portraits. Los Angeles-based wildlife photographer Simon Needham takes stunning portraits of different animals to raise awareness of endangered species and encourage conservation efforts.
Recently, he was given the opportunity to revisit Glen Garriff Conservation in South Africa to take promotional images of the lions in their care. During this experience, Needham was able to get close to some of the rare white lions and capture their striking coloration. Although sometimes mistaken for an albino lion, white lions actually occur due to a recessive genetic mutation in a condition called leucism. In order for a cub to be born with a white coloration, both parents must possess this recessive gene. While white lions are native to South Africa, trophy hunting has made their existence in the wild a rarity, so they are almost exclusively seen in sanctuaries like GG, which provide a large and safe area for them to live in.

Located in snowy Prigorodny, just outside Barnaul, Siberia, Lebedeva and her husband Sergey have been raising this majestic breed of felines for over ten years. Their cat collection began in 2004 when their first lion-like cat named Babushka gave birth to five ginger kittens. Since then, the couple’s farm became overrun with furry friends. According to Lebadeva, the shared living situation works both ways—the cats “protect the chickens and rabbits from rats and mice,” she explains. The ancient, long-haired Siberian breed has been around since the 1870s and they’re known to have incredible intelligence. To see more of these amazing Siberian cats, follow Lebedeva on Twitter and YouTube.

Soulful Black Cat Photos Showcase Personality of Inky-Colored Felines. Maggie Black cats are a symbol of Halloween, but that association has often done more harm than good.
In some folklore, particularly that of the American Pilgrims, they are seen as evil. This bias has carried through today, and the group has more trouble getting adopted than other colored felines. Animal advocate and pet photographer Casey Elise Christopher is working to change that with her striking portraits of inky-colored felines. “For this series,” she tells My Modern Met in an email, “I photographed black cats against a black background to emphasize their beauty and showcase their personalities.” “Black cats have the lowest adoption rates and the highest euthanasia rates, in part because they typically don’t photograph well,” Christopher explains.
