Horse & rider portraits

Fine art equine portraits

Still & Saddle photographs horses and the people who love them. Each portrait session is planned around your horse, your yard and the best light of the day, and finished as artwork made to be printed and hung.

The commission

How a portrait commission works

  1. A conversation

    It starts with a conversation about your horse and what you would like from the images. Together we agree a location and a time of day.

  2. The session

    We photograph at your horse's pace, at your yard or on a favourite hack, with plenty of time to settle before any pictures are taken.

  3. Your gallery

    You receive a private gallery and choose your favourites as framed pieces, prints or digital files.

Where we photograph

On location across the Midlands

Portrait sessions take place at yards and on private land across the Midlands, including Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Rutland, Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Commissions further afield are welcome by arrangement.

What you receive

  • A planning conversation before the session
  • An unhurried session with your horse, on location
  • A private online gallery of finished portraits
  • Your choice of framed artwork, prints or digital files

Questions

Before you enquire

My horse is nervous or will not stand still. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Sessions run at your horse’s pace, with time to settle before any pictures are taken.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We keep an eye on the forecast together and rearrange if needed, so your portraits are made in good light.

What should I wear?

We talk it through in the planning conversation. Simple, plain colours that sit well with your horse’s coat usually work best.

Can family and dogs be included?

Yes. Family, friends and dogs are welcome to join part of the session.
