Farming Photography Exhibition returns to Ely

Farming: An Urban Perspective on display at Ely last year
Photography Exhibition, Farming: An Urban Perspective, will return to the beautiful Ely Cathedral next week. The photography exhibition, which features images taken by London based fashion photographer Kevin Foord, will run from 4th to the 16th October in the Cathedral’s West Precinct.
The exhibition features commentary by popular Yorkshire farmer turned author Richard Benson, describing the stories behind the images. 24 photographs of farming and common countryside scenes make up the display, depicting how urban dweller Foord views rural Britain. Many of the images show scenes people living in the countryside will take for granted, but we hope it creates pause for thought and answers some of the questions such as why, when and how? For those who are interested it even includes a picture of Madonna’s front gate.
This is the second time the exhibition has featured at the famous Cathedral, and we would like to thank SallyAnne Ford from Ely for her assistance in coordinating the display and to James Littlewood for all of his help.
