Equine photography workshop in Auckland, New Zealand.
Where? Auckland area, New Zealand
Date? april 4-5, 2026
Learn about equine photography from me, an international award winning equine photographer who loves to create art of horses through emotions. In this workshop I will share the complete creative process from start to finish. Focus will be on creating with feeling and intention, and about your "why". I always find that learning equine photography is most joy-able when you have time to truly connect with horses, present with heart and soul. So, in this workshop we will not rush anything but work from where the horse is mentally, and from there create something really beautiful and soulful that speaks to the observer.
This is a 2 day equine photography workshop where we will have 2 different types of photo sessions, 1 theoretical masterclass and 1 masterclass learning post production combined with a coached editing session for all participants. During these masterclasses I will share all my knowledge gained from 13 years working as a professional in the field. In the masterclasses I will guide you to improve and work on your techniques and artistic choices. My own photography is very much driven by emotions and feelings, therefore masterclasses will not only be about hands on techniques, but also about how we can bring out emotions in our art through working with horses, light, selection and editing.
My goal is for you to be inspired & feel more while working through your own creative process. This workshop will give you better tools to understand where you are going and why.
