Equine photo workshop - wild living Garranos, Lusitanos and northern charm.
Where? arrival in Porto, north of Portugal
Date? July 1-5, 2026
I always find that learning equine photography is most joy-able when you have time to truly connect with horses. Simply when you have time to connect to your heart and soul, and when you are not chasing the image. This is why this workshop is unique; it combines the search and thrill of wild living Garrano horses where you have to stay grounded and observe, with fierce Lusitanos dancing for your cameras and posing like the art they are.
Join me for this 4 night, 4 days equine photography workshop where we will have several photo sessions, 2 theoretical masterclasses and editing sessions. During the masterclasses I will share my knowledge from 12 years as a professional and international equine photographer. During the editing sessions 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.
Some of our models will be wild living Garrano horses - a Portuguese wild living pony. Our sessions will be about finding them and then to try and capture their little wild souls. We will also photograph some beautiful Lusitano horses at the beach, in architecture and in the stunning landscape of northern Portugal.
