365 Days of Horses
what is it?
365 Days of Horses is a personal project that I dreamt up while visiting Lexington Kentucky in the summer of 2016. I had a BHAG (big hairy audacious goal) to photograph 365 horses in 2017 and curate this entire project into a daily blog where I feature one horse each day. Each and every horse is so unique and each and every one of them has such a special story. I want to tell their story with a classic portrait that shows their beauty and strength and share their story and what makes them special with the world. I want to create 365 beautiful pieces of art this year of the most magnificent thing there is, horses.
what does this mean for you?
I spent 2017 reviewing nearly a thousand applications for 365 Days of Horses and choosing each horse for the project based on their stories. I got to meet so many amazing people and horses as a part of 365 Days of Horses. It was truly one of the best years of my life! 365 Days of Horses has now come to a close, however I will continue the tradition of sharing the horses stories that I photograph as I believe that each horse is so incredibly unique and deserves to be celebrated and have their story shared with the world.
FAQ
your questions answered
How do I apply to be a part of the project?
365 Days of Horses has come to an end. We are no longer accepting applications for the project.
What are the requirements to be a part of the project?
First of all, it’s important that you own or lease a horse..because after all this is 365 days of horses. The next requirement is that you have a barn with an aisle way at the facility where you keep your horse, or have access to haul your horse to a barn. I also ask that you are at the facility when I arrive with your horse completely groomed and ready for pictures. I will provide some tips and tricks to ensure that your horses are ready for their portrait to be made. I also will ask that each horse owner fills out a questionnaire about their horse, this will provide me with information to share in their personalized blog post for you to share with friends and family.
Will I be able to purchase the pictures that you take?
Yes! Each session will last around 15-20 minutes depending on the horse and most horses will have anywhere from 10-20 final images in their gallery. Each owner will set up a time for an Online Meeting where I will personally reveal their images to them. This is a super fun experience for each owner and also a great time where I will get to hear more about them and their horses to help me in creating each horses blog post. All products that are available to my clients will be available for each owner ranging from Canvas Gallery Wraps, Mounted Prints, Framed Wall Art, Albums, and Digital Files. Each owner will also be able to submit images of the walls of their home so that they can actually see their horses images on their walls.
