Prairie Skies
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…

entry description
A mare and her foal, wandering under the sheer vastness of the prairie skies. With clouds hovering above the horizon, ever changing. Sometimes soft as cotton, sometimes dark and humbling. The prairies are a place of ultimate freedom.about the photographer
