Cockerel – Animal Photography by Ernest Goh

Chickens are thought of, at best, as a delicious main course, seldom as a pet, and rarely as things of beauty. Ernest Goh, a visual artist and photographer, has captured a series of images to change that perception. Ayam Seramas is a type of chicken breed created specifically for beauty. They even have their own beauty pageants. Ernest Goh took advantage of the amazing plumage of these gaily decked fowls and created a photo book featuring them. The stark black background that Ernest uses makes his feathered subjects seemingly pop out. Cocks: The Chicken Book features Ayam Seramas chickens proudly posing and strutting for the camera.
