Anthropomorphic animals

Concept
A series of full-body photorealistic illustrations portraying iconic animals dressed in elegant, character-driven fashion. Each portrait captures the animal’s unique physical features, textures, and colours, while integrating tailored garments that echo both contemporary and classic fashion language.

The styling is not costume-led, but identity-led — using clothing as an extension of each animal’s anatomy, posture, and personality. The result is a collection that sits between surreal portraiture, fashion illustration, and visual storytelling.

The works are designed for use across print, digital, advertising, and editorial contexts, while also functioning as standalone art pieces for collectors and exhibition environments.
