Cover and feature photography for The Valley Book

The Valley Book is a print and online guide to the Farmington Valley towns. Its pages need photographs of working farms, trails and town landscapes that look like the area and read well at cover size.

Tyler Rivera, founder of Legend Photo & Film, is the photographer for these pages. The work is cover photography, scenic photography and editorial feature photography.

The publisher's welcome page for the February 2026 to February 2027 edition names Tyler Rivera as photographer. It credits the cover image, Higley Brook in Granby, to Legend, and credits the Horses in Barn photograph in Granby and the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail photograph in Farmington to Legend as well.

The cover and selected photographs below show the work credited in this edition. You can verify the photography credits on the publisher’s website.

If you publish a guide, a newsletter, a directory or a regional website, you need photographs that look like the place and work together as a set. Planning matters more than gear: which locations, which season, which time of day, and which images need to work as a cover or a wide banner.

For a business, farm, trail organization or town office, the same approach applies to photographs of grounds, facilities, animals, landscapes and seasonal scenes. Before shooting we agree on the locations, the deliverables, the file formats and how the images may be used, including any print and web use, and we put that in writing.

Photography can sit beside video when a project needs both. This page shows photography only.
