Russian artist Oleg Dou, inspired by the culture of fashion and surrealism, uses photo manipulation on his pictures to give his subjects an almost mannequin effect. In his project entitled ‘Cubs’, Oleg drew inspiration from an old Victorian era practice of child post-mortem portraits.

The idea to depict them as various animals came from an old childhood memory of his, in which he was forced to dress up like a white rabbit for a party.

“I couldn’t pretend being happy in front of the camera, I hated being photographed.
The image finally reflected my discomfort and my vexation.”
