I needed a rooster for this crazy photoshoot idea that I had for my chair BFA project. Once I found a lady who told me I could come to her farm and catch whatever I needed, I volunteered Ryan to help me. This place was honestly nuts. There were all kinds of birds running around free, giant turkeys chasing us, even a wild moose walked through at one point. I kept pestering Ry, "Catch that one!" "What are you waiting for, that one's perfect!" while he ran around trying to grab one. He will NEVER admit it, but he was freaking out the whole time that it was going to peck him or something. We finally cornered what we thought was a rooster in a cage and headed out to an old barn.
Once we got there I figured we could just set it on the chair and I would snap a few photos. Unfortunately, the following picture is what actually happened once we set the so called rooster on the chair.
20 minutes later we caught it, pulled the string out of my hoodie and tied it to the chair. From then on, the shoot went fairly well. When we got home I was so excited to show everyone my photos. They sadly informed us that our 'rooster' was actually a hen. Oops. It turned out ok though, yet much more difficult than we anticipated. Here's the final shot...
