Horse photographer Ireland- Showjumping photos in Newtownards Northern Ireland
October 23, 2013
It was a beautiful day in Newtownards Northern Ireland when I photographed this showjumper and her horse. The area around her home was very picturesque with lovely old trees in the paddock.
When I arrive at a shoot, before I ever start taking photos I not only have to introduce myself to the people involved but also the horse. That time is the key to relaxed portraits. I then walk around the areas and study the light and decide both the angles and composition.
I really enjoyed balancing the studio lights with the available lights in the full lenght photo. The air was so pure the bark of the old tress was covered in lichen, I very subtly rake lit the bark, with out this the bark would have gone dark and their true beauty would have been lost.
Nikki’s inner beauty radiates from her and was very easy to capture. Her parents were fantastic assistants on the shoot and made the morning so relaxed and hospitable. When I look back on the Summer of 2013 this morning will hold a special place

Equine portraits – Magheralin Northern Ireland
These portraits were commissioned by Danielle’s Grandmother Betty at Tattersalls International Horse Trials as a gift.
The Showjumping Rosettes caught my eye when they opened the tack room. It summed up the hours spent together showjumping. The red diagonal stripe in her polo shirt connects them to the rosettes. I put an accent light on the horse to light the shadow side.

The light on the long grass caught my eye in the field behind her home and backlighting is my favourite lighting. Seems a simple portrait but timing the walk with the horse and the flow of the girls hair took a few attempts.

When couples meet with me we discuss the style of wedding photography they like. I often get them to bring samples of what attracts their eye which is a great help for me when shooting their wedding photographs.
