Behind
the lens
Ernest Goh has an
MA in Creative and
Cultural Enterprise from
Goldsmiths College, UK.
When shooting Ayam
Serama cocks, Goh
paid attention to the
psychological relationship
between the bird and its
master. Humans tend
to look upon cocks as
having a character and
soul, and his portraits aim
to capture the “human-
like” character that their
owners project on them. It
is no surprise that Serama
owners regard their birds
as “warriors”.
