London-based photographer Tim Flach just released a new series of photos called "More Than Human," a gallery of animal portraits that are unlike anything we've seen before.

The result is a highly engaging gallery that's as poignant as it is beautiful.

Flach's book is now available for purchase, and be sure to check out his website.
