'Animal Friends' by Balazs Koch is the sort of photo shoot that makes me feel like I'm on a carnival ride. From the stuffed animal accessories to the vibrant makeup and spinning, blurred aesthetic, all of the standard midway cues are present.

The makeup for 'Animal Friends' by photographer Balazs Koch comes courtesy of Alexandra Javor; Dorka Molnar provided the styling for this shoot. It makes me want to dig up my old stuffed animal collection and have some fun!
