Upon first glance at this body of photographs Madrid-based advertising and industrial photographer Miguel Vallinas it’s easy to view it as a typical “animals dressed as people” project. But the closer you look makes you realise it’s quite a bit more than that. Aside from the solid retouching, lighting and overall execution, Vallinas took this anthropomorphic project a bit further and imagined what the fully-realized wardrobe of each animal might look like if it were wearing human clothes.
Titled Segundas Pieles (Second Skins), Miguel photographed over 50 animals, and dressed them up in clothes that seem to be an extension of each of their personalities. The pictures look so natural, they almost make you feel bad about some of your choice of clothes! I’m pretty sure the hipster bird in the cardigan works at a coffee shop by the office!
