Every summer Andrey moves to his cottage in the countryside to take pictures of the red forest ants.
“When I had children and started reading them fairytales, I realized it was something I never did as a child. That’s when I decided to make up for it and start creating some fairytales of my own,” he said.
“I used to work in theater which was a big help when it came to making props. I chose ants because I respect them and their way of life. They care about their children and look after the elderly,” Andrey added.
