REMINDING PEOPLE WHY THEY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE HORSE. Horses transcend time. For centuries, they have been the chosen subjects of artists, the companions of warriors, the symbols of power, freedom, beauty and grace. They have captivated humanity since the dawn of civilization, leaving their mark on our history and inspiring artists across the globe. My work is rooted in THAT history. My goal is not simply to photograph a beautiful horse. It is to capture the thing that made us fall in love with horses in the first place....their power, their presence, their wildness, their elegance, and the unmistakable soul behind their eyes. Through my photography, I strive to create images that feel less like photographs and more like pieces of the story horses have been telling for centuries. Fine art. Storytelling. The horse, as art. So while the photographs themselves are what matter most to me, I am incredibly honored that my work has been recognized by competitions, publications and organizations around the world.
