France has a strong relationship with chickens...
In the heart of rural France, the humble chicken transcends its role as a mere farm animal to become a cherished symbol of tradition and resilience. Whether featured in a classic coq au vin or as the proud Gallic rooster—France's unofficial national emblem—chickens hold a deep cultural significance. For me, photographing these birds is a way to capture the essence of French rural life, where time seems to stand still.
Each chicken I photograph tells a unique story of the countryside, embodying the rhythm and spirit of village life. Their presence is a reminder of France's deep agricultural roots and the enduring charm of its rural landscapes. Through my lens, I aim to celebrate not just the beauty of these feathered icons but also the rich cultural heritage they represent.
