Majestic Stallions

My images have a painterly feel, almost dream-like, and, that, to me, feel timeless. My ultimate goal is to create images that give the viewer the sensation of being there and experiencing first-hand the majestic quality, grace, and beauty of that moment.
I love photographing horses at liberty. There is something about watching the movement of the horse through the viewfinder, something about the horse without restraint: the power, the grace, the beauty of the majestic horse.
