“While travelling in the countryside, we stopped by a farm to visit the equine family. A beautiful mare of a deep chestnut coat was pacing with her pretty foal.
The little one, as curious as only he could be, glanced at me sweetly under the watchful, yet gentle, eye of his mum."
Artist statement
My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens. I never lure my animated subjects to come close to me: spontaneity is the key.
This is an original uncropped image.
