Ghost Horse
My name is Tanja, I am 21 years old and a world-travelling photographer who has dedicated her entire life to capturing the beauty of horses and dogs from all over the planet.
I was fortunate enough to have discovered photography as my biggest passion at a very young age. Although I was only 14 years old at the time, I turned my art into a business and promised myself to never sacrifice my dreams, no matter how big they may be.
On the day after graduation I packed my suitcase and took off on a 2,5 month long photography tour through Canada. No travel partner, no route, no plans. Just my camera and I, with one mission: Find the most beautiful horses and capture them in Canada´s most beautiful landscapes. This photography tour was without the smallest doubt the happiest, most adventurous and fulfilling time of my entire life. Not only have I madly fallen in love with Canada, but also with the idea to combine my two biggest passions: photography and travel.
With endless curiosity for the unknown, a head full of dreams and a heart to decide the way, I have made the world my home ever since and never stopped travelling to this day. And although I don´t know where this journey will take me, I do know: It is just the beginning…
