WHO GETS SEEN ON THE LAND ?

Who Gets Seen on the Land? is an accessible image bank that depicts communities often underrepresented in photography, marketing, and media coverage of the UK’s food, farming and land-based sectors. This resource is a visual media tool that supports more inclusive storytelling across the agri-food sector.

The image bank offers over 100 free downloadable images of farmers and land workers that can be used for publicly available materials supporting education, advocacy and communications/marketing. The project has been shaped by Culture Roots Collective with partners from Root and Reason and ELEVATE alongside photographer Phoebe Davies.

Through a series of collaborative portraits and in-situ documentation, the project highlights the diverse experiences and vital contributions of people of the global majority, women and LGBTQIA+ land workers. The collection features five participant groups/farms working across livestock, agroecology, veterinary practice and mixed farming systems. The images reflect the intersection of identity, labour and landscape, capturing individuals actively engaged in their environments.
