While it is already quite a feat to capture human-like qualities on animals like dogs, Chinese photographer Jun C has managed to produce photographs of expressive safety pins.
By carefully bending and positioning the safety pins in everyday situations that people come across daily—for instance, resting on a chair—he is able to bring these inanimate objects to life.
In many of these pictures, the viewer would be able to feel a strange empathy for the forlorn-looking safety pins, who are often depicted as lonely characters in the whole wide world.
It is not all sad for the safety pins though—Jun has also shot a few photographs of safety pins in love, “sitting” sweetly next to each other.
