There's a graceful giraffe, a brightly coloured dragonfly and a spider that's far from itsy bitsy.

At first glance, they all look like wonders from the animal kingdom. But look a little closer and you'll spot a woman's hand here, her foot poking out there, or the outline of her torso twisted into an extraordinary pose.

For these remarkable images were all created by 'body concept artist'  with a little help from a couple of contortionists who acted as her human 'canvas'.
