About this Smallholding Photo Gallery (or stock library):
This index is to list in detail as to what categories of photographs are available. This Smallholding Gallery consists of a number of photos taken to illustrate aspects of smallholding or farming related issues. These images are a mixture of commercial and record shots to suit different purposes. If you wish to use a photograph, feel free to use the contact page to let Paul know of your requirements. They are available on commercial terms, including exclusive use - see the legal page.
The quality is, for the most part, more than sufficient for magazine covers - some have already been utilised for this - A4 to A3 prints are possible with most images.
