It is their elegance, wildness and beauty that inspires me. They are the reason, I photograph. Horses. My biggest passion and greatest muse. Embodying freedom, confidence, power. I will never stop being in awe of these animals.
Working with long exposure has become one of my favorite creative outlets. The abstract world that is forming, movement that becomes visible. All the hidden tales in one picture.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
Anna Archinger (b. 1994, Neuburg an der Donau) is a self-taught German artist based in Dronningmølle, Denmark. She has worked as a professional photographer since 2022. Anna’s practice focuses on horse photography as her fascination with horses goes beyond a mere passion. She lives at the farm Enggaarden, a private horse riding school, where her artistic reflection and connection to horses recall seminal artists’ fascination with horse study. Within the last three years, Anna has been elaborating a stunning body of equine artwork, some of which was distinguished with the Honorable Mention Professional in the International Photography Awards competition (2023) and was shortlisted in a private competition run by the Motif Collective Photography Gallery, (2023). Anna’s work is also scheduled to be presented to the public throughout 2024 in venues such as The Glasgow Gallery of Photography (Glasgow, United Kingdom), the Black and White Photography Festival (Athens), and the Chateau Gallery (Louisville).
