A model from Tahiti has stunned her social media followers with stunning shots of her swimming naked with dangerous creatures.
Rava Ray, 27, says she learned to 'share' the water with sharks, turtles, whales and dolphins while she was growing up after moving to Hawaii.
Now she takes to the ocean for beautiful underwater photo shoots with stingrays - often stripping off so she can be at her most natural.
She told Daily Mail Australia that she never feels anxious while swimming with the creatures - despite the fact they can be deadly.
The most notorious incident with the beautiful creatures involved the death of adventurer Steve Irwin, who was killed in 2006 when a stingray barb pierced his heart.
In the caption of one photo, Rava even refers to the horrific accident, saying: "I know I know, Steve Irwin."
Rava, who calls herself the 'stingray queen', admitted to the Daily Mail that she has been bitten by a ray in the past - but it was a 'total accident'.
She said: "I don't think I've ever posed a threat to an animal or been in a situation where I would have been attacked.
Rava has 46,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts the stunning snaps.
She has encouraged her followers to experience the animals up close, but asks: "Remember to be gentle."
Rava also has her own website for creative design. See more of her work atRavaRay.com .
