'My energy draws from consciously being there in the moment, to watch my surroundings and be engulfed by what I see. I don't merely take pictures, I let the horse guide me as I try and capture each moment.

 

I mainly use natural lighting, which allows for the changing weather to be an added challenge. I enjoy it most when these varying elements come together in frame. I aim to capture a near-complete image in camera, as I prefer minimal editing afterwards. I want to grab hold of the moment when I'm among horses, that's where magic is found. A pure visual, with depth and emotion. One that reads like poetry. Striving to capture the beauty and elegance of horses in the broadest sense, timeless and egoless.'
