Portraits of Cornish farming families are featured

Farmers on a Cornish peninsula are the stars of a photography exhibition.

Documentary photographers Colin Robins and Oliver Udy took more than 20 portraits of the families that raise the lizard.

The exhibition, Anthology of Rural Life – Lizard Farmers, aims to illustrate the relationship between farmers and the land they live on.

The exhibition opens at Kestle Barton, a farm above the River Helford, on 15 June.

Photographs of lizard farmers are interspersed with portraits of people living in rural areas across Europe.

Accompanying the exhibition is a series of free talks on food systems, agriculture and land use on July 20-21.

After the show ends in September, the photographs will be archived at Kresen Kernow, Cornwall’s archive centre, as a social and historical document, organizers said.

The exhibition and talks were made in collaboration with Falmouth Art Gallery and the Museum of Cornish Life, Helston.
