A bit about the shepherd’s hut.
The shepherd’s hut featured in this shoot was part of a lockdown project which started with photographer and designer Richard Budd sketching out the seed of an idea on a new type of electronic sketchpad – a reMarkable tablet. Richard Budd wanted to create a shepherd’s hut using the skills of local people and sourcing the elements for it from local suppliers. Richard enlisted the help of local craftsman Lee Petherick to help him bring this idea to fruition and together they set about building the hut which is of rustic design but with a modern twist. It’s been created and crafted in Dorset using local materials and now its finished its available for sale.

“The hut is truly a thing of beauty. We will be reluctant to see it go once it’s sold to be honest, as we sit imagining it situated in our own garden space”

Richard Budd
