I've been really fortuante in this photoshoot to combine a few things I'm really passionate about.
- Anything involving a camera
- The American Farmer.
I Love Farmers (ilovefarmers.org) is an organization that started in the Central Coast of California to show that farmers can actually be people from any walk of life, provided they have a passion for growing food, fiber, and other products.
We wanted to go for an urban, edgy, cross processed look on each of these photographs to really combatt the conservative image that farming and agriculture is so often stereo-typed in.
These young people were incredible to work with! Not only did they look amazing, but each of them are majoring in Agriculture in college. No, your eyes arn't going crazy. They are not wearing cowboy hats or overalls. They look normal. And I think that's the point.
Just a few months after this photoshoot, the pictures were on the front page of Capital Press Newspaper and the facebook group has grown to over 11,000 members!!! Join them on facebook today.
