Farmer Robin Mills has been capturing the lives of people from the farming community near his home at Dorchester for a documentary photography project called Farmlife.
"My love of the land, particularly my home county, Dorset, comes from a lifetime spent in the countryside as a farmer," says Robin.
His photographs are currently on display at Bridport Arts Centre.
"I consider it a huge privilege to live and work in this environment, and am constantly reminded of how precious and magical is this part of the world.
"Although working full-time as a farmer at Godmanstone, I have been passionate about photography since 1997, after I had an accident and found myself in bed for three weeks and I started reading photography books and manuals.
"I have documented a wonderfully diverse selection of farming characters in Dorset, photographed in their working situations, showing the indomitable spirit of the rural community holding its own in a changing world.
"This ongoing project is intended not only as a record of a way of life under threat, but also an illustration of how farming is responding to social, economic, and political influences.
"I mostly use a medium format camera for the landscape work, and 35mm for more documentary situations, with conventional black and white film. I hand-print the photographs in the traditional way in my darkroom, on high-quality fibre-based paper, using archival processes to ensure permanence. A single print can take me four or five hours."
The exhibition runs until August 2.
