Equine portraiture allows photographers to showcase the unique personality and beauty of each horse. From close-up shots highlighting the intricate details of a horse’s eye or coat to full-body portraits against stunning natural backdrops, there are endless opportunities to capture the essence of these majestic animals.

One of the most rewarding aspects of equine photography is capturing the special bond between horses and their human companions.

Patience, creativity, and an understanding of equine behavior are essential skills for creating compelling equine portraits that stand the test of time.

I was asked to photograph this beautiful high school girl with her four horses. She made the hard decision to sell two of the four and wanted to make sure she got a beautiful portrait of them all together. We even managed to get all eight ears forward.
