Holly Hutchinson has taken inspiration from the rural lifestyle block she lives on and used it as the setting for her new exhibition, Rural Duty, at the Aviary Collective.
“It’s about the innocence of a young child who sees the farm as his playground,” she says.
“I wanted to capture images that showed the purity and simplicity of a young mind, in contrast to the hardship that is often part of a farming life.”
She has borrowed her friend’s son to be the subject of the photos and has him playing on a tractor and in the cow shed.
Holly studied photography at Campion College and uses a Lumix G9 camera. She then colour-graded the photos using an Adobe programme called Lightroom to enhance them by bringing out certain colours. The exhibition features a series of eight photos which can be bought as prints or in frames.
