"Most people only see supermarket shelves": this award-winning drone photographer captures the raw beauty behind our food supply
With the support of farmers, Chris Gurton is gaining international recognition for his fantastic captures of agriculture and farming scenes
Chris Gurton, a photographer from Suffolk, has captured the raw beauty behind our food supply through his award-winning drone photography. His work has been recognized in prestigious photography awards such as the International Golden Shot Photography Awards and the International Aerial Photographer of the Year Awards. Gurton, who is not a full-time photographer, has developed a deep appreciation for the skill, dedication, and long hours involved in farming after building relationships with farmers.
Gurton's interest in agricultural photography stems from his fascination with capturing the stories and processes that many people never see, particularly in the early stages of food production. He emphasizes the importance of safety, understanding the farming process, making the most of lighting conditions, telling a story through the images, and being patient when capturing the perfect shot.
