Breathtaking Photos of Models Pose with Endangered Animals

These poignant portraits look to shine awareness on the plight of some of the world’s most endangered ecosystems and species of wildlife. The images combine animals, art and celebrity, with Asia’s top models posing with the likes of rhinos, giraffes, leopards and marine life. Shot by renowned photographer Sean Lee-Davies, Love is Wild shows intense emotion between the humans and the animal subjects. Sean spent around four years travelling the globe in order to shoot the project.
