For the past 11 years, New Jersey-based photographer Robin Schwartz has been photographing her daughter Amelia interacting with various wild animals.
In Schwartz’s series, Amelia can be seen in the accompany of animals like dogs and cats, to more exotic creatures like monkeys, elephants and deers.
“My daughter and I share an affinity with the animal kingdom and we play out our fantasies and explore our eccentricities by creating a cultural space where animals not only co-exist with humans, but also interact as full partners,” wrote Schwartz.
“The animals in the photographs are living creatures, participants in the dramas that the photographs capture. The world that my daughter and I explore is one where the line between human and animals overlaps or is blurred, where animals are part of our world and humans are part of theirs.”
