All horses are purebred Spanish stallions. These horses were bred over centuries to represent the power and the glory of single monarchs and whole empires. The European history is not conceivable without the Spanish horse, his pride, personality and beauty. It is always a big pleasure and honor to watch them playing around and to capture their powerful and proud movements through my lens. As I regard horses as mystic beings, I like to photograph them in mystic surroundings. Dust and very little light make it possible to work out a mysterious ambiance that give the photograph the touch of an ancient oil-painting - appropriate to the long history of this special horse breed.

5 years of experience as professional horse photographer, working all over Europe, based in Austria. Numerous publications in international magazines and books.
