Madrid-based
advertising and industrial photographer Miguel Vallinas presents his
whimsical photo series, titled “Second Skins”, where various animals
take up a role that’s completely new to them. Dressed in fashionable
clothes, each of them poses as a typical human model would, and it
appears the their outfits match their personalities as a true second
skin.
Vallinas photographed over 50 animals,
picking them outfits that of different styles and even decades. A swan
looks like a studious girl, whereas a flamingo becomes a sharp NYC
business lady – and check that stylish jacket that the donkey wears!
Detailed retouching makes the outfit and the pose of the animals come
together into a very coherent look.
The series is a sister project of the
“Pieles” photo sequence, where the Vallinas photographed himself dressed
up in different professions. You might also remember another Spanish
photographer, Barcelona-based Yago Partal and his “Zoo Portrait” series. What is it with the Spaniards and their love to dress their animals up?
