Esther Towler Photographer

Esther Towler Photographer I'm a fine art photographer and photo-encaustic artist who creates limited edition prints inspired by horses for art collectors, hotels, designers and brands.

I
also take on a small number of equine fine art commissions across the UK and internationally. “Through my artwork, I tell stories of the wild at heart. Encapsulating the beauty, heart and fragility of wild and rare horses in their natural world. My work explores the very essence of the freedom and peace horses evoke. One of the most beautiful sights in the world is a horse running without restr

aint. Undoubtedly, the power of this wild abandon is why horses inspire my love for photography and fuel my continued creative journey. Horses stir many emotions within us, they are the embodiment of freedom and spirit. In Eastern spiritual traditions, they say that there’s a wind horse who exudes powerful positive energy that has the capacity to influence outcomes, people and society. They believe that Horses inspire us to have faith and believe in positive outcomes within our life. I find this truly inspiring and I’d love to think that the artwork I make has a little of this spirit and belief running through the very core of all my artwork as each and every horse I’m lucky enough to share a moment with and photograph is very special to me. They deserve their moment to shine and share their beauty, light and essence, elementally encapsulated within one of my prints for everyone who seeks their own personal wind horse.”

This year has been a year of experimenting, one process at a time. Cyanotype. Van D**e Brown. Wax. Each one asking something different of me, each one teaching me something I didn’t expect. For the rest of the year, I’m bringing them together, and I couldn’t be more excited to share that journey with you.

This Saturday's Art on the Moor cyanotype workshop will be the last one I run on the moor this year.

We'll meet at Standedge Cutting at 10:00 am, gather flora growing around us, and use it to make prints together, the same process behind my Elemental series.
You'll come away with your own prints, plus tea, coffee, and a sweet treat. Saturday's forecast is looking like the driest, calmest morning of the week, so it should be a beautiful way to close out the season.

Saturday 5th September · 10 am–12 pm · Standedge Cutting · A couple of spaces left.

Yesterday, news came in of a wildfire spreading across heathland in the New Forest, started by a car fire and carried into the open countryside by how dry everything is right now.

I’ve spent so much time in that landscape, photographing the New Forest ponies and the wide open heath they call home. It’s such a special place, and it’s hard not to feel the weight of what this fire means for it.

Globally, heathland is rarer than rainforest, and takes decades to develop. This particular stretch is a stronghold for smooth snakes, and home to Dartford warblers, nightjar, and much more besides. The ancient trees nearby, some centuries old, cannot be replaced if lost. Heathland can eventually recover. Ancient woodland cannot.

I’m heading away for a few weeks now, and my social media will go quiet while I’m gone. But before I do, a gentle reminder as you’re out enjoying the countryside this summer: the land is tinder dry at the moment. A dropped cigarette, a spark, a moment’s carelessness, and the impact can be devastating for the wildlife, the ecosystem, and the people who call these places home.

Please take care of the wild places we’re lucky enough to still have.

Sea Horse.

There's an old belief in the Camargue that these horses were born of the sea itself, foaled from the foam where the Rhône meets the Mediterranean, belonging to no one.
This image is from a body of work I made in the Camargue back in 2022. I've been returning to it recently through cyanotype, horse, water and sky folded into a single blue, until the line between them disappears entirely.

Sea Horse is the first piece to come from that return, and this month's Collectors Circle release, an edition of 10, available only to members.

Cyanotype Workshop — On The Moor

There’s a moment in this process I never get tired of, watching the print wash in the water, the image slowly settling as everything unnecessary lifts away.

I’ve got a few spots left for the next workshop, and I’d love for you to come and see this for yourself. Introductory price £55.

Conwy Mountain is burning. Sychnant Pass is thick with smoke this morning, and fire crews say it may take some time yet.

I keep thinking about the Carneddau ponies — the ones I walked amongst for Wild Hearts, half-wild and utterly unbothered by me. That land is the only home they’ve ever known.

This morning, word came that they’ve been moved to safety. I won’t pretend I wasn’t holding my breath until I heard it.

They’ve outlasted fire on that mountain before, long before any of us were watching. I’m hoping, that they are all safe.

Fixing a cyanotype with peat bog water, straight from Saddleworth Moor.

The moment everything the moor gave it finally settles.

Heading back on Friday to make a few more 🤍
