title
their walk in dead dust and shadows
I booked my first workshop on horse photography in 2017. Since then I have tried to educate myself and learn from people who are great role models for me in photography, but not only horse photographers, for example Katarzyna Okrzesik-Mikolajek, Ekaterina Druz, Malin Wengdahl and Cayetano Gonzales.

entry description
These pictures were taken in the Black Forest in southern Germany on an evening at the end of April this year when it had not rained for several weeks. Normally this is the wettest time of the year in this region, but in recent years the rainfall has been decreasing and more and more problems with persistent drought have arisen. The earth seemed to dissolve and drifted away like fog when it came into contact with the air. To capture this, I used the horses that moved along their trail and only their steps stirred up the dust of the earth.about the photographer
My Name is Alica Mák and I was born 1986 in Stuttgart / Germany with Hungarian roots. I live in a small village in southern Germany on the edge of the beautiful Black Forest. In my main job I work as a nurse in intensive care. My passion for photography started in my youth with an old analogue Minolta camera that I took with me on every trip and photographed everything that seemed interesting to me. When the camera finally broke down in the middle of 2016, I bought my first digital APSC camera which I used to take countless pictures of my own Horse. Half a year later I started taking pictures of the horses of friends. And already in May 2017 I registered my business.I booked my first workshop on horse photography in 2017. Since then I have tried to educate myself and learn from people who are great role models for me in photography, but not only horse photographers, for example Katarzyna Okrzesik-Mikolajek, Ekaterina Druz, Malin Wengdahl and Cayetano Gonzales.
