Final Images- Rose

These are my final images. In the beginning I struggled so much trying to come up with an essay that I was able to do my best on. I came up with idea after idea and none of them worked. I ended up falling back on horses, something that to me just made sense to photograph. I practically live at the barn, so why not just try and get some good shots while there. Although the horses were probably one of the hardest models ever, I think I did a pretty decent job working with them.

My essay ended up being about how, horses and humans work as a team, and essentially are one. I believe that although horses are seen as powerful and strong animals, they are also loving and caring. They are seen as "wild," but when they have their own special person they are as happy as we are to have them. Horses show such a strength, so getting them down to a vulnerable level is a bit of a struggle.To me, going to the barn everyday is the biggest highlight of my day. My horse is always there and always makes me happy. Horses are a huge part of my life so being able to incorporate them into my photography made it even more fun for me.
