I recently
had the pleasure of photographing Britain’s sexiest (female)
farmer. Anna scooped the title Britain's Sexiest Farmer
in a national competition ran by Farmer’s Weekly. Anna,
who won Miss Newcastle in 2007, said: "I
want to show everyone that farming is not just men, muck and wellies,
but is much, much more.”
Anna who is actually
a friend of my wife’s is very easy to photograph. We spent
an hour scouting around the farm getting various shots in the
freezing weather. We chatted about the competition and by the
time we did the shoot she’d already appeared on most of
the national newspapers. She seemed very pleased by it all and
at the same time quite philosophical about her new found fame.
“Tim Relf, of
Farmers Weekly, said: ”Forget the old, stereotypical image
of farmers as straw-chewing and scruffily dressed. That’s
history. They’re seriously sexy.”
Maybe they should have
a sexy farmer competition at Egton
Show every year?
The pictures were taken
for Newsquest and will feature in the Darlington
and Stockton times, The
Northern Echo and Living magazine.
