“The 38 best books to gift to the readers in your life this Christmas. Farm Life: A blacknose sheep, dappled Texas longhorn, Arabian horses, long crower rooster, and many more are captured in stunning repose by an award-winning animal portrait photographer.” — The New York Post
“From buck-toothed alpacas to chickens so pretty they should have cosmetics contracts, the subjects in Farm Life: A Collection of Animal Portraits are hardly the stuff of Old McDonald. With his charmingly elevated portraits, the photographer Randal Ford makes them all look like barnyard superstars.” — The New York Times Holiday Gift Guide
"In Bug the baby longhorn, [Ford] discovered a budding supermodel. The lanky calf, photographed when he was just days old, is a natural beauty, with his lustrous speckled coat and wide-set eyes. But it’s clearly Ford’s art-directing alchemy that elevates him from barn dweller to heartbreaker, as he turns toward the camera with his long lashes, one foot gingerly posed in front of the other. Photos of Bug are among more than 200 images in Ford’s latest book, Farm Life: A Collection of Animal Portraits, published by Rizzoli. His third monograph with the publisher — following Good Dog (2020) and The Animal Kingdom (2018) — Farm Life includes portraits of goats, pigs, llamas, chickens, ducks, rabbits, horses and a surprising variety of cows. Given that these nonhuman sitters (or standers) are harder to direct than human models, it’s remarkable just how still they appear, as if they are truly posing." — 1stDibs
“Award-winning Texas photographer Randal Ford has turned his lens on all manner of animals: pet dogs, chimpanzees, giraffes, and tigers, not to mention the Texas longhorn on G&G’s February/March 2024 cover. His latest book, Farm Life, follows his previous collections, Animal Kingdom and Good Dog, in elevating animal portraiture to a fine art. This time, he’s capturing the beauty, silliness, eccentricities, and elegance of farm animals—and not just any farm animals. Arabian horses, brown goats, rare Polish chickens, pigeons, and even a baby raccoon occupy shining moments on the pages. Ultimately, the book is a love letter to the working animals that bolster the heartlands of the country.” — Garden & Gun
“Ford’s third animal portraiture project captures the crisp profiles of residents of the American farm: cows, chickens, ducks, yaks, barn owls, and much more.” — The New York Times Book Review
"...these farm animals were photographed in the studio as supermodels. From Highland cows to Polish chickens to Arabian horses, Ford’s compelling animal photography invites us to fill with barnyard awe." — Hello Lovely Studio

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for coffee table!
Super fun book. Highly recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars Breath taking
This book is a work of art. The photographies are amazing you can almost give animals a personality
5.0 out of 5 stars Animal portraiture at its best!
I thoroughly enjoyed the farm life portraits. Some are serious and some are humorous and some, we wonder, how did Ford get these images. (The answer to that can be found on Ford's website or instagram page as he documents his process with several videos. You get it, but yet you don't get it. It is still amazing to see the 'perfect' pose from these models who live on farms across the country!) What I was not expecting was the stories alongside these beautiful portraits. All of a sudden these images come alive and you want to know more about the animals and who they are, just like we do when we admire human portraits. These farm 'celebrities' do not disappoint. Who knew a rooster could dance? And then you question, 'if I am looking at only the backside of a gorgeous palomino, is that still a portrait? YES Absolutely it is.

In “Farm Life,” Randal Ford’s delightful new collection of animal portraits, he captures the personality and soul of each and every subject. “Incredible” That’s what everyone who picks up “Farm Life” says. “Surprisingly compelling.” “Sweet, funny, and moving”…each image will make you smile. My husband and I have all three of Randal’s books and we love them all. Perfect gifts for anyone who loves animals as much as you do.
