THIS LITTLE PIGGY IS A BEAUT!

Photographer Tim Flach has a way of making the creatures around us seem mystical. For his new book, More than Human, he spent years photographing a menagerie of animals in his East London studio—from featherless chickens to fuzzy hogs. Through their expressive gestures, woeful glances, and shy turns of posture, the animals are not merely being documented by Flach, but seem to be collaborating with him to express their inner-most thoughts. Both tender and technically precise, the collection reminds us that we share this planet with some extraordinary beings.
