Herds, mares and foals

An invitation for owners and breeders of Icelandic horses

Some of the strongest images in this project came from people who reached out and said: I think you should meet our horses. If that is you, I would love to hear from you.

Before you fill in the form, a few things to know about how I work. So we both know if it fits.

How I work

I photograph alone, around sunrise and sunset, when the light is soft and the horses are most themselves.

I need the horses to be in a quiet, natural setting, open landscape, dunes, fields, farmland, not between buildings or in busy yards.

I work in my own creative way. That means I cannot follow a brief or photograph specific images on request. What I make depends on the horses, the light, and the moment. If you are looking for portraits or commissioned work, this is not the right project for me to take on, but I would be happy to point you elsewhere.

I would love to spend time with the horses on my own, without distractions, so I can really see them.

What happens with the photographs

The photographs become part of The Icelandic Horse Project. That means they may be used on this website, on social media, in field notes, in printed work such as magazines, books, cards, posters and limited-edition prints, in exhibitions, and in any other communication or promotion related to the project.

You will of course always be credited as the owner of the horses if you wish, and I will share images with you that you can use privately.

If you would like to order prints or products of your horses for yourself, that is possible at my regular rates. And if you are able to offer a place to stay and a meal during the visit, I am happy to offer photographs in return, of equal value.
