Who gets seen on the land?
Who Gets Seen on the Land? is a free and accessible image bank that depicts communities often underrepresented in photography, marketing, and media coverage of the UK’s farming and land-based sectors.
This image bank offers over 100 downloadable images of farmers and landworkers that can be freely used by people in the agroecology industry for education, advocacy, and communications/marketing. It is a media tool that supports more inclusive storytelling across the agri-food sector.
The project has been shaped by partners from Root and Reason, the Elevate Programme, and Culture Roots Collective, alongside artist Phoebe Davies. Through a series of collaborative portraits and in-situ documentation, the project highlights the experiences and vital contributions of people of the global majority, women, and LGBTQIA+ landworkers.
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.
