Why Hire an Equine Specific Photographer?
It's important to understand that most photographers are amazing when working with people but lack experience around horses. When photographing people you want to ensure they look their best and this goes the same for our equine friends.
Confirmation
is the horse built uphill or downhill, are they short and stocky or tall and lean, are the standing square etc. This all affects how I position the horse and what angles I will shoot from
Horse experience
asking a person with no experience around horses to work with a green or hot headed horse can be dangerous for both the photographer and animal. Because of my own time spent in the saddle with all levels of horses I am very mindful of every individual animal's comfort and patience levels and always work around that
The equestrian “style”
the photography that is present in the horse community is a different style compared to typical fashion, wedding or portrait photography. Being a part of the horse community I have an excellent knowledge of what my clients are typically looking to get out of their photoshoot
