Utterly captivated by the glorious photographs of horses that I saw when I was a child, I grew up knowing that photography was what I wanted to do. And since that time, I have always valued the ability of a still image to capture moments, scenes and stories.

Horses, with their innate nobility and majesty, and their close connection with mankind for so many thousands of years, are truly compelling subjects for the camera. There is a reason that the Centaur - half man, half horse - is so important to us and has been part of our myths and legends for so long. We have been connected, and in thrall to, these amazing and spiritual creatures for almost as long as we have lived together on this Earth.

In the images I create, I strive to show not just the beauty and glory of the horses that I meet but also that, in the play of light and dark, we can have modern masterpieces in our own home or gracing the walls of our businesses. I am inspired by the dramatic art of Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Vermeer as well as the glorious sculpture of Bernini and Michaelangelo reflected in the muscular power of the horses in front of the lens.

I am honoured that you are here and I hope you enjoy my images as much as I enjoy making them.
