A country girl born and raised in Young, with strong ties to the Monteagle and Greenethorpe communities on our doorstep, Chontelle Perrin has been capturing life through the lens for over 15 years. While she’s best known for her heartfelt portrait photography, the special collection on display at the Brewery celebrates another side of her work — the raw beauty of life on the land.
From sweeping farming landscapes to scenes of rural life, livestock and the majestic heritage horses known as Australian Brumbies, each photograph reflects Chontelle’s deep connection to the countryside she calls home. As both a photographer and a farmer, her images offer a genuine and grounded perspective on the world that surrounds her.
Emily is a professional photographer whose work captures the beauty and atmosphere of places through light, texture, and detail.
Growing up in Young, NSW, Emily first discovered her passion for photography, later refining her craft while studying at Canberra Institute of Technology.
Her career began in Sydney, where she worked in a photo studio specialising in food advertising and packaging. Emily then relocated to Glasgow, Scotland, where her focus shifted to interior photography.
Emily’s time abroad was highlighted by documenting her explorations—whether journeying through the Scottish Highlands or along the sunlit coastlines of Portugal.
Her exhibition at the brewery presents a series of images captured in Italy and Greece, reflecting her ongoing fascination with light, place, and the sense of atmosphere that lingers long after the moment has passed.
Emily is currently living in Wollongong and frequently travels back to Young to capture families, weddings and local businesses.
