How do you get four horses most of the way up the Eiffel Tower? In the lift, two at a time, of course. We know this for certain because the Italian artist Paola Pivi has done it. And to otherworldly effect.

Equine photography is the art of photographing horses. It is a challenging but rewarding genre of photography, as horses are beautiful and expressive creatures. Equine photographers must be able to capture the horse's movement, grace, and personality in their images.
There are many different types of equine photography, including:
- Portrait photography: Equine portrait photography is similar to human portrait photography. The goal is to capture the horse's individual personality and beauty in a single image.
- Action photography: Equine action photography captures the horse in motion. This could be anything from a horse jumping a fence to a horse galloping through a field.
- Documentary photography: Equine documentary photography tells the story of horses and the people who love them. This could involve photographing horse shows, horse racing, or simply people enjoying their horses at home.
Equine photographers use a variety of techniques to capture the best possible images of horses. Some common techniques include:
- Using a fast shutter speed: A fast shutter speed is necessary to freeze the horse's motion and prevent blur.
- Using a wide aperture: A wide aperture allows the photographer to blur the background and focus attention on the horse.
- Using natural light: Natural light is often the best light for equine photography. It is flattering and can help to create a sense of atmosphere in the image.
- Capturing the horse's eyes: The horse's eyes are one of its most expressive features. Equine photographers often try to capture the horse's eyes in their images to add emotion and depth.
Equine photography is a beautiful and challenging art form that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Equine photographers capture the beauty, grace, and personality of horses in their images.
Here are some additional tips for equine photography:
- Be patient: Equine photography can be time-consuming. Horses are unpredictable animals, so it is important to be patient and wait for the right moment to take a photo.
- Get to know your subject: The more you know about horses, the better your equine photos will be. Take some time to learn about horse behavior and body language.
- Be safe: Horse safety is always paramount. Be aware of your surroundings and never put yourself in a dangerous situation.
If you are interested in learning more about equine photography, there are a number of resources available, including books, websites, and workshops. If you are interested in hiring a photographer, there are many listed here to cover your event or to capture beautiful moments with your horse!

Photographer creates 3,000 square foot backdrop to capture stunning pictures of horses in all their glory
By Rob Preece
Read the original article on the Daily Mail UK
Strong and muscular but graceful when they move, horses have inspired artists and writers for centuries.
But these pictures show the animals as you've probably never imagined them before - posing for portraits in a professional photographer's studio.
And this isn't any ordinary studio - it's a 3,000 square foot backdrop and stage which the photographer, Lindsay Robertson, takes to stables in the back of his Transit van.
Mr Robertson, 58, from Edinburgh, designed the studio himself and revealed that it cost him a 'five-figure' sum to create.
To make the backdrop, he had to buy two enormous rolls of muslin before sewing them together in the only space he could find that was large enough - a railway station car park.
He then spent a month painting the muslin and rigged up a system of poles to raise it to a right angle. Next he built the 700 square foot stage upon which the horses stand for their portraits.
Horses are a popular subject for sculptors as they are beautiful and majestic creatures. Equine sculptures can be found in public spaces all over the world, from parks and gardens to museums and galleries.
Equine sculptures can be realistic or abstract. Realistic equine sculptures often depict horses in a natural pose, such as grazing or galloping. Abstract equine sculptures may be more stylized or geometric.
Equine sculptures can be made from a variety of materials, including stone, metal, wood, and clay. Stone and metal are popular choices for equine sculptures, as they are durable and can withstand the elements. Wood and clay are also popular choices, but they are more fragile and require more care.
Equine sculpture is a diverse and fascinating art form. It can be used to depict the beauty and power of horses, as well as to explore more complex themes such as movement, freedom, and the relationship between humans and animals.
Here are some additional characteristics of equine sculpture:
- Equine sculptures often capture the horse's movement and grace.
- Equine sculptures can be used to express a variety of emotions, such as joy, power, and beauty.
- Equine sculptures can be used to tell stories, such as the story of a horse and its rider or the story of a particular horse breed.
- Equine sculptures can be used to create a sense of place, such as a sculpture of a wild horse herd in the American West.
Equine sculpture is a beautiful and expressive art form that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
