Photography

I have always had a passion for horses. There is just something about them which I’m sure a lot of people can agree with that makes you fall in love with them. About three years ago I got right into photography. I decided to study Digital Media and major in Photojournalism at University and learn more to help me capture the perfect image. I am still learning with each photo shoot and enjoying the process. While it was fun photographing people for assignments it didn’t hold the same attraction to me as equine photography. Because of their beauty, I strive to capture the perfect moment to express and show just this. I have started out by just photographing friends horses and then onto commissioned work. I currently use a Canon 600D camera with a 18 – 200 f3.5:5-5.6.

In November last year I had the opportunity to be one of the photographers for Equitana in Sydney, which was an awesome experience for me. I wish to continue along this field of work with equine photography.
