Katy Rogers, Free-Range Kids (PEOPLE 2025)

Two kids roam freely on their family farm that’s been passed down through three generations (and now home to 500 free-roaming chickens). The winter light was incredible that afternoon and really lifted this image from a shadowed part of the paddock. I love the carefree playfulness of the kids (and the chickens), and the beautiful disorder to Australian farms where nothing is too polished but everything has a purpose.
