Stillness
This is the question that drives and shapes me as an equine photographer. I take my photos in a horse friendly environment, where the horse has almost more decision over the photo than I do - even with domesticated horses. Due to that, I can show the horse with its true emotions and movement.
I've grown up in the ruhr-area of Germany and been partly self-employed since 2016 - next to another job and my full-time university classes. "Hooofprints at heart" is something people would describe me as, since I've loved horses since I was a little girl. I guess, it wasn't "just a phase".

entry description
This horse has a character that one could describe as "crazy" or even "dangerous", but the actual trouble was his past: When he was imported from Spain to his new home in Sweden, nobody would talk about his past, but his scars all over the body and soul. This moment of stillness was what gave me goosebumps, as it told me so much about his true character that he needed to hide to endure what had happened in his past.about the photographer
