I’m looking for more farms, breeders, and livestock keepers to participate in my Conservation Priority List photography project!
This project focuses on the people, animals, and everyday work behind rare and endangered livestock breeds. I want to show the relationships, routines, knowledge, and places that make this conservation work possible.
I’m looking for people who:
• Raise a livestock breed included on The Livestock Conservancy’s Conservation Priority List
• Are comfortable having their animals and farm photographed
• Are willing to share a little about their breed, their farm, and why this work matters to them
• May be comfortable appearing in some of the photographs themselves
There is no photography fee to participate, and you will receive a gallery of finished images from your visit. Participants must allow photographs from the session to be shared with The Livestock Conservancy, but you will get to choose which images are selected and sent to them.
Short interviews or video may be included in some visits, but we would discuss that together before your session!
I’m based in central Indiana, but I am open to hearing from farms throughout the Midwest and beyond. Travel distance, timing, the breeds involved, and the story we hope to tell will all be considered when choosing upcoming visits.
If you raise a Conservation Priority List breed and would like to be considered, you can fill out the short application here:

Please feel free to share this with someone whose animals and conservation work deserve to be seen!
Book a farm photography visit for your conservation-priority livestock breed. Emily documents rare and heritage breeds on working farms across Indiana for The Livestock Conservancy's Conservation Priority List project.
