Horse Portrait Photography by Henry Szwinto 

A little bit about Henry Szwinto Equine Photography.

I have been involved in photography for over 40 years and try to keep a very broad range of work including wildlife, travel and landscapes but I get most reward out of working with people so portraits are always fun for me.  Both my wife and daughter owned and rode horses and so horses have always been part of my life.  They are a natural subject and can look fantastic when photographed well.

I’ve had the privilege of photographing some amazing horses and you can see some of the results here.  I hope to make your eyes pop because I am applying my portrait experience to photographing these beautiful animals and the results are different to the usual horse portrait you would normally see.  Using your best equine photos from our shoot I can order beautiful acrylic mounted prints to display your stunning horse portrait.  These can come in very large formats.  If you have the home that will take it, imagine a life size horse portrait.  For the traditional home I have a full range of canvasses and I also print and frame my horse portrait work up to A2 using a variety of fine art papers.

A selection of my best images are available on general sale.  Click here to take a look.

Photography and horses are 2 different worlds but there’s no reason why they shouldn’t meet.

Photos with Charlotte

These are a few recent photos from a shoot with Charlotte Elliott and Trooper.  We started outside in the early morning light before switching to indoors with studio lights.  Charlotte and Trooper having been doing well in competition recently and it was clear that since my last shoot with them Trooper was looking stronger and his movements were more consistent.  When shooting movement with studio lights consistency helps with the timing.

Foals at Dawn.

I was out early this morning trying to photograph some rather un-obliging fallow bucks.  This foal reacted like he had never seen a person with a camera before.  His back lit fluffy main and chin fluff saved the day.

Playing with my new lens

I had just taken delivery of my new wildlife lens so I thought I would go over the local pond and try it on a few swallows but then along came Christina riding western on Braveheart, her lovely Rocky Mountain horse.  Quite a good test fro a 400mm handheld shot.  Very different to my normal equine portrait lens but I still find a 400mm useful when trying to photograph horses that like to crazy when they are first turned out
