New Wild Horse Photography Releases

I'm happy to announce the release of two powerful new images in my ongoing Wild Horse Spirit series - Ember and Unbroken - two distinct yet complementary portraits of strength, presence, and the untamed spirit that defines the American mustangs.

UNIVERSAL EMBERS OF RESILIENCE

Ember, photographed in Washoe Valley, NV, is an intimate close‑up of a black wild stallion, where the intensity of the eye mirrors the growing fire in his flared nostrils.

The image reveals a quiet, ancient strength held just beneath the surface. It's that moment where calm meets instinct, capturing the stallion’s restrained power.

A SPIRIT THAT REFUSES TO YIELD

Unbroken, created in the rugged landscape of the McCullough Peaks, WY, portrays a wild stallion standing boldly on a desert ridge, his mud‑streaked muscles and wind‑tossed mane shaped by the elements. His stance—steady, alert, and unapologetically free - shows the raw essence of the wild and the strong will to remain untamed.

These two images speak to different expressions of strength. Ember is about the quiet fire we hold inside, while Unbroken celebrates the outward, undeniable presence of a spirit that refuses to yield. Together, they honor these iconic animals, America’s wild horses—and remind us of the strength and resilience within ourselves.

Limited‑edition prints of both new releases are now available, each signed and numbered and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
