Photoshoot: 'Human & Animal Connection' by Matanah Behrens Photography

Photographer: Matanah Behrens Photography

Model: Millie Thompson

HMUA: Dess Koutroumbis

Isn't this an interesting twist on your regular fashion editorial? Featuring two very photogenic models (don't forget the bearded dragon on Millie's shoulder!), brilliant hair and makeup by Dess Koutroumbis and the stunning photographic skills of Matanah Behrens Photography - It's no exaggeration to say that we're very impressed!

Matanah is an 18-year-old photographer based in Sydney, Australia. She has been behind the lens for about 3 years now, but already her work is starting to turn heads.

Of this shoot, Matanah explains: "This photoshoot is definitely one of my favourite photoshoots to date. In this series, I have both a bearded dragon and a wonderful model. Having an animal in the photo such as the bearded dragon, I wanted to show the connection that humans and animals have with each other, but then also having a fashion and editorial twist to the images."
