About the trainer

Nico Morgan has been a photographer for more than 35 years, and has had his work published all over the World in newspapers, books, magazines and websites. He has had well over of 50 front covers of books, national and international magazines, including the likes of Horse & Hound, The Field, Eventing, British Eventing Life, British Showjumping.

Nico is a full-time professional equine photographer and shoots at least two different equestrian disciplines every week, sometimes three or four. He works as an event photographer at some of the top events in the UK and Ireland, as well as providing equine imagery for commercial clients as varied as car companies, equine supplements manufacturers and luxury shoe and boot brands.

For some time Nico has published free equine photography advice on his blog which has proved very popular. Now he is putting the best of it behind a paywall which is not, like most subscription models, a repeating payment. A one-off payment will secure access to this content for ever. While the quantity of those articles is relatively small the price is very affordable, but as time goes on and the amount of material which members have access to increases, so will the price of membership.

So if you are looking for an equine photography course - you're in the right place!

Multi-Discipline

Equestrian photography is a wide-ranging and varied subject, not just portraits of a horse & rider at golden hour!

Equestrian photography covers any photography which includes an equine. This could be a portrait, but it could also be any of the many other equestrian disciplines and sports.

We want you to be confident enough to shoot any equine activity!
