There's this incredible photographer. She's a regular face at horse shows. Perhaps you have the pleasure of knowing her too - Linda Finstad of A Sharper Image Photography.
This delightful lady has an imagination rivaled by only the most brilliant and creative. She has a beautiful smile, a contagious laugh and one heck of an eye for all things equine.
Several months ago, Linda posted on facebook that she was dreaming up a unique photo shoot where she would be the subject. She would need a cooperative horse and outdoor scenery. Well I have those so I volunteered my services and those of my ponies. Last week, Linda contacted me to take me up on my offer! What a cool opportunity! She shared with me her vision, using Jose's trick-horse skills and she herself would be the subject (model) in a steam-punk outfit she'd created. Heck yes, count me in!
We booked the date and got perfect weather. My wonderful friend, Susan Scott of Natural Dynamic Photography would arm the camera, I would wrangle the horse and Linda would be stunning. And so it worked! Jose was a little unexcited about being told to lay down on very hard ground (it's like cement in places out here!) but did cooperate in the end to facilitate some FANTASTIC images! Linda said she wanted "quirky" and I think she got that but even more - and I mean that in a very good way. I love the unique images and the character that speaks through.
What a fantastic opportunity and I'm so glad to share - compliments of Susan, Linda, Jose and myself!
