With thirty years of experience, photographer Kevin Horan decided to take some majestic and very dramatic photographs of goats and sheep. Goats and Sheep are usually neglected when it comes to barnyard animal photos.

Kevin’s photo series is titles, Chattel. Strangely his photographs of Goats and Sheep are quite moving as they capture lots of emotion and beauty with the goats and sheep faces – which is rarely seen when it comes to those two animals.

Chattel began back in 2007, when Horan moved to Whidbey Island, Washington and got it in his head to photograph his neighbor’s sheep. He asked, the neighbor was on board, and the rest is history.

The wildly popular series was selected in Photolucida’s Critical Mass Top 50 for 2014, and one of the photos was acquired by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Prints are available upon request.
