WILD HORSE PHOTOGRAPHY

As a photographer, my work has became a path to access a deep primal bond we share when standing eye-to-eye with a wild creature. To look into the eyes of a wild horse is to discover a story to follow that often resembles our own and brings to light the importance of preservation.

This time around, we will wrap up with a discussion of two production options I offer for my wild horse photographic artwork: flush mounted plexiglass (acrylic) and archival canvas.

From the very moment of his birth, the wobbly-legged colt is tethered to his mother. This reliance is both fragile and profound. He shadows her every step knowing instinctively that her presence is his only guarantee of safety.

In this blog, I will discuss the most popular production method for my images - dye sublimation on aluminum. There are definitely some considerations...

Wild horse photographer Maria Marriott talks abou the reasons why the best artwork needs to have an equally compelling presentation that enhances the work itself. 

Wild horse photography has always been my way of slowing down time. It’s a pursuit that forces me to intentionally look at the world.

Wild horse photography is a humbling reminder to focus on the present, not anchor ourselves to the past.

And then it happened - a cloud of dust started rising and we could see and hear the entire herd.

In the thick of such challenging and tiring circumstances, the moments of true rest are an absolute necessity. When a wild horse finally surrenders to deep sleep it's a profound act of release. In these precious, vulnerable hours, all the burdens of their tireless desert life are momentarily set aside.
