Equine Photography – Sunset Horse & Pony Portraits
Horse & Pony Portraits at Sunset or Later
Depending on the proposed location of your equine portrait photography session, it might be possible (with the co-operation of Mother Nature) to get shots of you and your horse or pony as the sun sets.
My studio lights open up a whole world of options for your equine photo session
My portable studio lights are amazing at making the colours in the sky pop as the sun goes down and even beyond, into the blue hour. If we get the right day, you will end up with some stunning sunset pictures of you and your horsey friend.
Piebalds look particularly good under the studio lights
There’ll be plenty of time to jump into some different coloured outfits, if you so wish, since sunset doesn’t move especially fast!
A magical sunset pony portrait session near Northampton
The sunset session is probably the most difficult to combine portraits with action shots, but depending on the surroundings, it might still be possible.
Sunset is definitely my favourite session for an equine shoot, assuming the sky plays ball. There’s so much scope for different kinds of shots!
The other fantastic thing about the sunset slot is that it opens up the possibility of silhouetted shots, which I absolutely adore.
About 20-30 minutes after the sun has set, the sky starts to go a magnificent blue colour, which is just perfect for shots like this!
