Does hiring an Equestrian Photographer really make a difference? I’d like to think so. I know that as an equestrian, horse lover and photographer there are some things, specific horsey related things, that can only be understood by horse people.
Equestrian Photographers Understand Safety

Have an Understanding of Equine Conformation
Equine photographers are well-versed in horse conformation, different disciplines and ensure that your horse will look their best. Posing a western pleasure horse vs a hunter, dressage or saddlebred is all part of being an equestrian photographer. Each pose and discipline ensuring your horse looks its best in photos. They know how to pose horses to highlight their best features, communicating effectively with the animal to achieve the desired shot.

Most equine photographers have a deep love for horses, caring about their well-being and ensuring a positive experience for the horse during the photography session. Not rushing, taking their time and understanding when the horse or human has had enough.

Not just snapping photos for photography sake but acutually dedicated to capturing the beauty and personality of horses in photographs and creating stunning images that you will cherish forever.
