# Aristocratic Rooster Portraits Poultry III by Cally Whitham Classically Captures Courtly Chickens By Meghan Young | Published 2014-07-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooster-portraits References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/18248135/Poultry-III) & [cally.co.nz](http://www.cally.co.nz) This series of rooster portraits captures the birds as they have never been seen before. Aristocratically dapper, if it were mating season, these [feathery fellows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers) would definitely be first pick among the hens. As it stands, they could also be posing for other reasons. The rooster portraits are captured in a dramatic light, after all. Yet that is left to the audience to decide. Shot by Cally Whitham, a photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand, the rooster portraits are aptly titled 'Poultry III.' For those not familiar with her work, she is known for her moody and paint-like style as seen in the [Homage](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homage-by-cally-whitham) and [Dwell III](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwell-iii-by-cally-whitham) series. The rooster portraits focus primarily on close up shots so people can get a good look at their individual features. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aristocratic Rooster Portraits:** Opportunity to explore the art of animal portraiture and capture unique and captivating shots of animals in a new and innovative way. - **Dramatic Lighting in Photography:** Potential for using dramatic lighting techniques to create visually striking portraits and evoke emotions in the viewer. - **Moody and Paint-like Photography Style:** Incorporating a moody and paint-like style in photography to create a distinct and artistic aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the field of animal portraiture, exploring new techniques and styles to create captivating images. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity to incorporate elements of drama, emotion, and unique aesthetics into artwork, exploring new mediums and techniques. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Using the aristocratic rooster portraits as inspiration to create unique and stylish fashion designs, incorporating feathery textures and regal elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spooky Charming Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-paw.md) - [Cage-Free Chicken Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chookery.md) - [Chicken-Themed Virtual Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bojangles.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Custom Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom.md) - [Smart-Designed Chicken Coops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartdesigned-chicken-coops.md) - [Smart Backyard Chicken Coops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-smart-coop.md) - [Limited-Edition British Potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/albert-bartlett-white-rooster.md) - [British Barn-Laid Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bird-bros-roost-eggs.md)
