Nikolai Tolstyh uses a opinel knife to cut out his animal silhouettes. He looks for the best nature scene to fit the animal he has cut out. Tolstyh considers himself a "natural craftsman." He has gained many followers in Instagram from his unique take on using textures of animal's natural background as their bodies. What I like about Tolstyh photographs is how he correlates the animal silhouette and the background. Tolstyh will also make the colors have the animals similar. The backgorund will be similar to the actual animal's color. His work also is an interesting spin on textures. Whether it is a wood background or flowers, it is unique to incorporate the paper as the main focus.
