Equine Photographer & Specialist Event Photography by Northants Photographer Karl Drage

Professional Equine Photographer and Videographer based in the Midlands, providing specialist coverage for equestrian events, brand commissions, and private portraits. My approach is rooted in a high-pressure background of professional event and wedding photography, where I developed an uncompromising commitment to image quality and technical precision.
 
I transitioned into the equestrian world with a simple belief: equestrian athletes deserve the same technical excellence and artistry usually reserved for once-in-a-lifetime weddings. After years in high-pressure event photography, I was struck by the lack of regard for image quality in the equine world. Today, I’m on a mission to change that—combining my professional ‘quality-first’ ethos with a deep study of equine biomechanics to ensure every frame is a technically accurate work of art.

The Pursuit of the ‘Perfect Moment’

I am a firm believer that a photographer should never stop learning. While I am a specialist in the fast-paced world of showjumping and the cross-country element of eventing, I am currently deep-diving into the nuances of high-level dressage. I am currently working alongside a former 5* eventer to refine my ‘eye’ for the perfect dressage frame—ensuring that when I capture a horse’s movement, it isn’t just a photo, but a technically accurate representation of the sport at its highest level.

HERE’S WHAT SOME OF MY PAST CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:
