Rob MacInnis takes these great family photos of farm animals. I mean, gold medal to anyone who can actually get a chicken, dog, goat, sheep, cow, and horse to pose together like that. I also like his photo of this charming sheep.

You can check out more of his work on Instagram and his website. (via present & correct)

According to his website's artist's statement: "I am a photographic artist who creates fictionalized portraits of farm animals, a deliberately playful method, functioning as a disruption of our belief that photographs portray factual realism", those portraits may or may not depict all those animals at the same time.

Yeah, if you look at the lighting and shadows of the subjects they don't really match up.

Yeah, that was my first reaction too: ‘Bad at Photoshop.’ On the other hand: it is a cute idea & the execution of it in real life absolutely impossible, so there you are…

Wellllll, crap. I totally missed that small huge detail. I still like the photos, even if they are constructed like group shots for fashion magazine covers.

So much more than a cute idea! “Tidnish Mountain,” especially, is truly wonderful. Thanks for sharing Rob MacInnis’s work, Jason — these are great.
