Taking A Fine Horse Photo

Posing is unnatural to horses. Many a famous person would testify that it is possible, as long as the one doing the posing is this lady equestrian photographer from Pasadena, California. Pasadena City College (PCC) gave her first camera, and now her motor home office follows trackside events all over the state, and she even covered the Montreal Olympics where she shot photos of British Princess Anne.

The easiest recourse for her, after graduating from Pasadena High School, was to practice on horses for her PCC photography classes. Since she was 10 years old, she practically lived at the Eaton Canyon Riding Stables. The stables were her practice grounds on weekends, where she used her borrowed camera for assignments. Her first photo sold, and she was on her way to a full-blown career, giving up music, art and journalism. Thanks for reading our article about paintings and you can read more at horse portraits.

Two renowned photographers took her on as an apprentice at a Santa Barbara show, after which she helped them pose and focus horses at shows, tracks, and state fairs all over the country. Later she joined another equestrian photography pair who concentrated their work in California. Today, she uses a Swedish camera with German lens, and her mother takes care of the business side of things.

With her, active shots are the best, like six-foot jumps and winning races by the nose. She can also take great formal shots, with horses down on all fours. Some horses can be real camera whores, too. Some horses facilitate pictures by raising their heads or perking their ears. There are other horses that won't move a muscle to help you.

She said that there's more to taking a fine horse photo than meets the eye. One type of horses, the hunters and jumpers, are best shot mid-air with legs bent at the right angle. The best shots of Tennessee walkers are with their front hoofs in action and an over reaching hoof with their hind legs. While a stock horse is best captured stopping in a slide, a saddle horse is best captured with legs and head held high. She has received much acknowledgment for her work on the Peruvian Paso, an endangered South American species that many groups are working on multiplying. Their termino, in which the forelegs roll toward the outside as the horses' stride forward like the arm motions of a swimmer is the perfect moment to click that shutter. Their value increases with the white ponchos and elaborate gear sported by their riders.

Through her work, she has met many celebrity horse enthusiasts. Conversations with royalty are another perk of photography. She was able to get close to the Queen, of all people, after photographing Princess Anne at the Montreal Olympics. Whenever her daughter would take a high jump, the Queen would feel her anxiety climb. She began to photograph fork lifts for a little variation, even though she fills her spare time with swimming, back packing, bicycling, panning for gold and sometimes even horse riding.

She didn't have to worry about the fork lift perking its ears. NBA 2K12 My Player Hall of Fame Ceremony Speech [No Pictures, Only Video. No BS 720p HD]
