Chic Chicks, Big Haired Paduan Chickens Photographed In A Highly Stylized Portrait Series

In his new series “Chic Chicks“, photographer Dan Bannino worked with gorgeous Paduan chickens, fluffed up their oversized head crests like the big hair of the 1980s and shot them in highly stylized but flattering light. The effect is somewhat reminiscent of the ubiquitous Glamour Shots portraits that were popular at the same time.

To ensure the prospect of living in a better, peaceful world, what is important is love and mutual respect. Something that you easily find in the animal kingdom, and that we -humans- have yet to achieve. We must choose to change and set an example for future generations. My thoughts to #orlando and to all the victims of injustices. #chicchicks
