When folklore and photography collide, I'm always a fan; 'Transformation' by Alexandra Zaharova and Ilya Plotnikov is one such example. The photo shoot tells a tale of people who are turned into birds, complete with feathered faces and super-sized eggs. Conversely, the raven in the photo shoot becomes a humanlike figure who holds arrows in its enormous beak.
