These are articles which have been written for my Equine Photography Membership group and are not publicly viewable.

Equine photography is very specific in how we time our movement and choose our positions and angles. When you see photographers on social media talking about how we should all break the “rules? of photography, it doesn’t really apply to us! If you do choose to create your images your own way and veer away from the conventions, you will find that people don’t want to buy your images.

My Membership Group is aimed squarely at inexperienced equine photographers who want to learn more, and photographers who already work in the equestrian niche but want to branch out into other disciplines, or just discuss technique with other photographers who work in the same field.
