Wildlife / Animals nominee

A once in a lifetime horse and I had the opportunity to photograph him in action. I have always been focused on movement and what better way to capture movement than this horse with long manes in action, Capturing this one perfect second of "Mane Envy" is my favourite shot. I always look and aim for that split second and in this shot it was timed perfectly, the horse looked at me and his white eyelashes also still stand out. I love capturing these magical short moments we normally tend to miss in our normal hectic life but focusing through my lens I feel it.

I am a fine art equine photographer. My passion lies in capturing the purity and authenticity of both horses and people. Powerful portraits with an intimate feel. Close to my character strength and movement captivate me, and I find that perfect combination in horses. My connection with them runs deep. Years of daily training and partnership with my own horses brought me immense fulfillment, and now, through photography, I strive to capture that same connection in every image I create.
