We dove into one of our favorite subjects—posing horses and their humans—and it was as fun as it sounds.
Cara and I recently co-authored a book on this very topic, and let me tell you, we poured our hearts into Equine & Equestrian Photography Poses that Sell.
Between the late nights, stress-eating way too much dark chocolate, and plenty of brainstorming, we crafted something we’re incredibly proud of.
