Photographer Rob MacInnis gathers barnyard animals that we selected for consumption and production, and turns them into majestic portrait subjects. Everything started when Rob came back from a long journey through South America. Taking photos in places that suffered from extreme poverty made him rethink photography's role in his life and society: "I had a tough time dealing with my relationship to photography after this trip," Rob told Bored Panda. "I felt it irresponsible to ignore the exploitative aspects of photography, especially when making artwork in such a privileged position. I found that photographing animals enabled me to critique both myself and the photographic field."
