# Amy Bateman Photography
Amy Bateman is a multi-award-winning creative photographer based in Kendal, specialising in capturing people, places and artisan products with striking visual impact. She works primarily with agricultural and commercial businesses across rural and manufacturing sectors, from smallholdings to larger enterprises, providing high-quality imagery for promotional and marketing purposes.
What sets Amy apart is her unique farming background combined with professional photography expertise. This insider perspective allows her to authentically document working landscapes and farming operations with genuine understanding and credibility. Her work has garnered recognition from prestigious bodies including the British Life Photography Awards (Overall Winner 2019), Fotospeed Photographer of the Year, and finalist status in the Outdoor Photographer of the Year competition.
Beyond client commissions, Amy has developed significant personal projects, most notably *Forty Farms*—a two-year collaborative initiative with publisher Dave Felton documenting agricultural change across Cumbria. This has evolved into a major exhibition that toured nationally (Rheged, Windermere Jetty, Food Museum) and a published book. The exhibition is now touring as weatherproof outdoor panels through H&H Group partnerships.
Amy's reputation stems from her commitment to full immersion in every project, ensuring clients receive stunning, authentic imagery that genuinely represents their business. She transitioned to freelance photography in 2019 after significant amateur competition success and continues to expand her portfolio through both commercial work and ambitious creative projects.
