About this event
With the successes of previous visits to Weeting behind us, we are pleased to be returning in September to take in the sights and sounds of another season down on the farm. During the war, while many of the men were away fighting for our country, many of the peace-time tasks were left to the girls. Harvest time was no different so, with a little poetic license and camera firmly in hand, we aim to recreate those once everyday wartime scenes of manual labour on the farm but with the added glamour of some beautiful girls playing out the part of the British Land Girls.
The aim of this visit is to bring old farming ways and glamour together, using a 1938 Fordson tractor, a Dextor tractor with binder, a traction engine in steam and the thrashing machines, all as the perfect backdrop to the glamorous side of the Land Girls.
The shoot will take place out in the fields from lunchtime and run through to around 8.00pm, allowing us to hopefully take advantage of the late summer afternoon and evening sunshine. Our girls for this shoot will be re-enacting old farming ways while posing for us using old farm tools and, of course, having a crafty smoke. After the harvest is done, our ladies will change into period summer dresses and further pose for us, walking in the fields as the sun sets over East Anglia.
This event is a great chance for all types of photographers to come together and enjoy a summer’s day out photographing beautiful girls in period scenes with a few twists along the way. Tickets will be restricted to 25 to ensure a more relaxed and enjoyable shoot.
Event cost £55.00 per person.
