Portraits of Grace and Beauty
Where Chickens surprise a Photographer
Discover the internationally acclaimed Hens and Roosters series by Alex ten Napel.
To photograph the hens and roosters Alex ten Napel transformed an old henhouse into a studio and entered a new, unexpected world. Their movements, expressions, and stunning variety of feather patterns immediately fascinated him. They walked with the elegance of models, moved with the refinement of dancers, and surprised him with the agility of gymnasts. After twenty-five years of photographing people, these birds offered him a refreshing new source of inspiration.
These limited edition fine art prints have been exhibited in leading galleries, featured in international publications, and collected by art lovers and institutions across the globe.
Each portrait reveals the individuality, quiet strength, and subtle grace of hens and roosters — captured with the timeless precision and emotional depth that define museum-quality fine art photography.
