A model has been captured in a range of intimate portraits posing with a 350kg Russian brown bear. Zhana Shveinova jumped at the chance to pose with the bear, who attracts fans from all over the world and has enjoyed a diet since he was a cub. Photographer Olga Barantseva contacted Stepan's owners, Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko, who adopted the bear when he was just three months old, to organise the photoshoot.
