Mastering Horse Portraits

Horse portrait on black background

Mastering Horse Portraits is your complete guide to confidently executing the three horse photos clients ask for most: conformation pictures, free motion action pictures and black background portraits.

Conformation pictures

Learn how to set a horse up correctly, where to stand and which lens and height to use so the horse is shown accurately and attractively. These pictures matter to breeders, sellers and owners, and getting them right builds your reputation quickly.

Free motion action

Capturing a horse moving freely is exciting but requires planning. The course covers safety, working with helpers, choosing a location and timing your shots for the most flattering stride.

Black background portraits

Dramatic portraits with a dark background are a favorite for many owners. You will learn how to create that look with light and positioning, and how to finish the images in editing.

Working with clients

Beyond the camera, the course includes how to plan a portrait session, communicate with clients before the shoot and present images afterward so the experience feels professional from start to finish.

Who it is for

This course suits photographers who are comfortable with their camera and want to add portraits to their business, as well as event photographers looking for work during the off-season.
