Additional important information, please read.

I invite you to join my workshops designed to enhance your creative process and explore the art of photographing horses. These sessions are welcoming to photographers of all levels, ensuring everyone can benefit. To fully engage in the workshop, it’s helpful to have a foundational understanding of your camera and its features. No prior experience with horses is required, and we will begin with a comprehensive safety demonstration to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone.

I suggest using a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a removable lens system for your photography. For equine portraits, my go-to lenses are the 70-200mm f/2.8 and the 85mm f/1.4, which. While wide-angle lenses like the 35mm or 50mm can be excellent for other photography styles, they may not be the best fit for capturing equine portraits. If you don't already have a 70-200mm lens, renting one could be a great option. I often use lensrentals.com, but there are plenty of other rental services available as well.
