I am pleased to announce that I have recently been given a commission by the Hereford Photography Festival to carry out a community arts project involving local breeders of the Hereford cow. I seem to have become something of a farm photographer.
My hope is to reference the history of farm animal portraiture: using a traditional format to reveal something about contemporary attitudes to farming. I hope to put some control of the photographs to the farmers minds. I can't sure how the farmers will respond to my idea, especially in the wake of this hard weather. Maybe they will all just look miserable, which is fine.
