Eventually, Bannino built a small, gray studio space at Pozzato's farm. That's where he took the portraits, using colorful lights to create individualized looks for each chicken. He selected each color based on the shade of the chicken's feathers.
Bannino hopes the project will inspire viewers to think about chickens as more than food.
"In this case, chickens had been 'hired' as models," he wrote, "underlining their beauty and showing the contrast between their exploitation and their extreme elegance."
