I Photograph Model-Like Portraits Of Stylish Chickens

ADVERTISEMENT

Hey, pandas my name is Dan Bannino and I’m a photographer. I’d like to share with you the story of some super stylish chickens and their quest to conquer the world with their coolness.

My passion for nature and animals brought me to work on this story, with the aim of turning the audience’s attention over a rather unusual theme. The reason why I wanted to portray these incredible creatures is because I wanted to underline the fact that some of us don’t even know how gorgeous a “common” chicken is.

    I knew that I wanted to show the beauty of these animals and the contrast between their exploitation and their extreme elegance

    Everything started a few weeks ago, when I stumbled upon some news on the internet

    The news were about these quirky species of poultry called Paduan Chicken and I’ve then decided to travel all the way to Padua to meet Andrea Pozzato, the reigning Italian Champion of breeding chickens.

    Its a rather unusual species of poultry imported from Poland in the 16th century, that has a funny and unique crown of feathers resembling cool 80s’ hairstyles.

    Employing Old Masters’ chiaro-scuro technique and adding colourful lights, I’ve photographed these chickens like glamorous models

    These are Crystal and Anastacia

    Our two roosterlicious Tyson and Chic Norris

    And here’s Mandy with Chanelle

    Let’s don’t forget Cosimo and Chantal

    And of course Elvis and Maria

    Last but not list, Priscilla with Chanelle

    Tomorrow don’t just go and buy some piece of meat. Respect these and all the creatures, and fully appreciate what nature gives us

    Every single day

    I'm an Italian-born photographer and my work is largely influenced by old Masters. I like to translate ideas into images, making photos that are telling stories. Recently I've gained international recognition and my pictures had been published internationally in a variety of magazines such as The Times, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Huffington Post, Elle, Grazia, Cosmopolitan and many more.
