Photography enquiries to Lauren Vest: lauren@stockdogs.com.au
My name is Megan Rutherford and my husband and myself run a sheep and cattle property near Blayney NSW with the help of our 3 young daughters. Having grown up on a predominantly sheep property in south-west Qld, I have had a passion for agriculture my entire life (which I expanded on at UNE in Armidale with a Bachelor of Livestock Science).
I have always been interested in photography, but I really invested time into learning the craft whilst on maternity leave and I haven’t looked back. I love capturing all things agriculture and showing the story that is our life on the land through my photography. I hope that my images give people a better understanding of a particular moment in time as a farmer, and what our life on the land is really like. As working kelpies are a big part of our everyday lives, they feature heavily!
As well as capturing rural photos I also enjoy capturing lifestyle, family and couples photoshoots, as well as commercial product photography.
My work has been featured in calendars, on the Shotkit website, by The Land socials, and I have won awards in Australia’s Top Emerging Photographers and The Mono Awards competitions, as well as competitions for local government advertising.
