In this body of work, I turn my lens toward one of the purest expressions of untamed life — the wild and semi-wild horses that move across the earth’s open spaces.From the volcanic slopes of Cotopaxi in Ecuador to the high plains of Colorado and Wyoming, from Utah’s Onaqui herd to the white horses of the Camargue in southern France, I’ve followed these animals through wind, dust, and silence. Each encounter carries the same pull — a reminder that freedom is both fierce and fragile.These photographs are rendered in black and white to distill the experience down to form, gesture, and light — the sculptural essence of the horse against its landscape. Stripped of color, the images reveal something elemental: muscle and spirit, tension and grace, the timeless bond between land and life that refuses to be contained.This series is not about ownership or domestication, but about presence — the raw, unguarded beauty of creatures that exist on their own terms. In every frame, I aim to honor their endurance, their wild intelligence, and the space they still command in a world that grows smaller every day.
