Mavstar Photography

Raised on her Victorian family farm surrounded by livestock, Mavstar Photography founder Ruby Canning has always been fascinated by the way natural light is used to capture the breathtaking, unique and unequivocal stories of the land. Being no stranger to the workings of farm life, Ruby has lived and breathed countless lessons on resilience, resourcefulness, enterprise, custodianship and tenderness thanks to the generations of her family who have dedicated their lives to the agricultural and livestock industries. A passionate and lifelong photographer of the land, Ruby derives the majority of her inspiration from the rich bonds shared between loved ones, their individual stories, and the connection farmers share with their land and livestock - as she describes it - “a love story like no other”.
