Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating since no one has ever said that. But come on! Who even thinks that chickens are gorgeous creatures? (And no, I am not trying to offend anyone.) Well if you did think that, you are about to be proved wrong and as am I.
Since the following chickens are some of the most majestic chickens, I’ve ever seen. I was not aware that they came in all shape and sizes from incredibly long legs to necks covered in feather, we have it all.
And the genius mind behind this project is Matteo, a professional photographer. While we are aware that this has already been done before by Stephen Green-Armytage, Matteo brings his own unique flayer to the pictures.
I’m Matteo and I’m a professional photographer. I’ve always been fascinated by the beauty of birds. In 2013 I decided to go in search of a Concincina as a pet for my studio garden in Milan.
That’s when I met Giorgio, a farmer who invited me to an aviary exhibition. That very same day, the Concincina hen Jessicah (cue Unchained Melody) stole my heart.
My friend and work partner Moreno joined me in this passion/madness and we started to take pictures of literally hundreds of chickens and roosters. Just look at them. They are beautiful. And they know it.
Eventually, we ended up with enough material to think about publishing a book. That’s why we just launched a Kickstarter campaign.
