Why Equine Photography Requires a Different Approach
Equine photography is its own discipline.
Horses move differently.
Horse people think differently.
The moments that matter often happen between the action.
Too much photography education treats horses like props — or ignores the culture entirely.
The Horse In Focus exists to change that.
This platform was created to support photographers who want to respect the horse, understand the environment, elevate the visual narrative, and build careers that last.
