Equine portrait – Mare and Foal

This photograph of a Foal and Mare was taken at very short notice, after a surprise when the owner turned up to the stable, only to be greeted with a foal!

Mare and Foal portrait

I was asked to capture some photographs while the foal was still young. The weather was really poor and I was very conscious of upsetting the Mare or Foal.

In a very short period of time I managed to get some great shots in the livery yard. They required a little post capture work to remove unwanted objects, people, and background.

This image was selected by the owner. At full resolution you can pick out every hair on the foals neck and mane, with the background being the flank of its mother.

I have also been requested by the owner for portraits of 3 more horses she owns. I will let you know how this goes.
