Additional important information, please read.

This workshop is aimed at helping you enhance your creative process and acquainting you with a beautiful way of photographing horses. It is open to all levels of photographers but is especially designed for beginners and intermediates. To make the most of this workshop, you should have a basic understanding of your camera and its various functions. Experience being around horses is not necessary for this workshop and there will be a safety demonstration before we begin.

In order to get the most out of this workshop, I recommended you bring a DSLR or Mirrorless removable lens camera system and a lens that is no wider than 70mm. My preferred lens for this purpose is the 70-200 2.8. Wide angle lenses, such as 35mm or 50mm, are better suited for other types of photography, and not the best choice for equine portrait photography. If you do not own a 70-200mm lens, there are several options available for renting lenses. One such website is lensrentals.com, which I frequently use. However, there are other options available as well.

When you sign up you will receive an email with more detailed information.
