Landscape nominee

A few years ago, while one of my trips to Tuscany, I discovered this small umbrella pine forest in a bay. Already at the first sight I had this picture in my head. Immediately I went on the search for a horse which masters this trick on command and has owners who can bring it for me at this location. The search for the perfect horse for this picture took almost three years and in April of 2019 it was finally my time! Since the way to the beach leads under these trees, we had to wait for a moment when nobody walked under the trees. When the sun had disappeared behind the horizon, we were able to set up the horse undisturbed at exactly the right moment and a few minutes later the picture I had dreamed of for so long was captured.

Born 1986 in Stuttgart, south Germany. Full-time nurse with employment in various fields of medicine, including geriatric care, oncology and out-of-hospital home care in intensive care. After a burn out, I found 2016 the horse photography as a channel to process what I experienced in the care of sick and dying people and to escape into another world. What fascinates me about horses is their sensitivity and strength in one, their form and elegance and the freedom and vitality they radiate combined with a fragility like life has. This makes them for me a symbol of life and transience which I want to make visible with my photos.
