THE EQUINE PHOTOGRAPHER

My name is James, and I’m a traveling equestrian photographer based out of the North East of Scotland but I travel too many locations throughout the Scotland and the Faroe Islands. My aim is to create beauty and grace of my equine client through portraiture, as well as capturing the bond between horse and rider.

 You & me

That gentle nuzzle, their sweet scent, the soft whinny. Your horse holds a special place in your heart, and you long to capture the unique bond between you, preserving memories of happiness to treasure forever.

However, the thought of stepping in front of the camera makes your palms sweaty and your pulse race. I understand completely.

Take a moment to breathe! I'll be with you every step of the way, calming your nerves and providing you with a collection of images that will exceed your expectations, ready to be cherished for years to come.

 How I Work

Each session is customised to your desires and aspirations for your Photo Shoot adventure. I'll lead you through every phase, offering advice on attire, selecting ideal locations, and preparing for the shoot. Together, we'll scout out the finest photo spots at your preferred venue and seek out the most enchanting light for your images. I'll assist you in overcoming the sudden awkwardness that often accompanies a camera's presence, ensuring you feel at ease and self-assured. Then, the enchantment will unfold!

EVERY SPECIAL MOMENT

Once we've established the basics, that's when the real magic unfolds. It's those fleeting, intimate moments when everything clicks, even if just for a heartbeat, that truly inspire me!

Capturing the unique bond between you and your horse is a treasure beyond measure. Creating images that resonate with you, ones you'll hold dear for a lifetime, is a challenge I eagerly embrace with each session.

I offer 3 types of shoots, with multiple packages to fit your needs. Services include Horse and Rider sessions that are equestrian-styled photoshoots that capture the relationship between you and your horse, Equine Portrait, black/white background portraits that surround their personality and beauty in images that last a lifetime and Group/mini sessions that friends can all have portraits that will be cherished forever.

Equine Portraiture is a timeless session designed with your horse in mind, capturing both their personalities and unique beauty being the ultimate goal. Each session includes multiple poses, from head to full bodies photographs, and varying angles that focus on showing off your horse's best features.

Each horse is edited by hand onto a sleek black background to create images that will wow your friends both online and up on your wall!
