Ernest Goh – Cocks Headshots #9

$261.00

Reared and roomed by dedicated owners for participation in pageants, ornamental chickens, including the impressive Malaysian breed of Ayam Serama, project a natural and seemingly effortless charisma rivalling that of human models. Ernest Goh’s award-winning portraits capture the full range of these beautiful birds’ personalities: puffed chests, ruffled plumage, bowed heads and all. By turns provocative, humorous and surprising, the photographs in the Cocks Headshots series will move you to view our humble feathered friends in an entirely different light.


About Ernest Goh

Ernest Goh’s passion for animals was nurtured as a young boy wading in the streams of his grandmother’s kampung village looking for fishes. He considers his passion for animals a natural extension of his interest in photographing the human condition. Fast paced global development has caused a sharp increase in animal-human interactions and better appreciation of nature will be crucial to both species in the future. In The Fish Book (Wee Editions, 2011) he presented a whimsical study of the ornamental fish in Singapore and in October 2012 he received the Discernment Award at the ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu photography awards for his portraits of fowls. He is also the creative director of The Animal Book Co; an outfit that works with animal welfare groups through photography.
