Discover the Passion Behind Heartful Photography
My life has been deeply intertwined with horses, fostering a profound love not only for riding them but also for capturing their beauty through photography. Throughout my studies at the University of Derby, horses remained a central focus, inspiring my dissertation and final projects.
The very first photograph I ever took was of my pony, igniting a lifelong passion that continues to this day—whether I’m using a DSLR camera or my smartphone. Leveraging years of experience and a keen understanding of horse behavior and their interactions with their environment, I strive to enhance each image, beautifully showcasing their unique personalities and individual characters.
