It's an art form When you hire a professional photographer, you're notjust hiring a technician - you're hiring an artist! Photography can get pretty technical, but in the end, it's an art form. When you view a photographer's portfolio online or during an in-person consultation, you're most Likely swooning over their personal style, which has taken them many years, experimentation, and hard to work to perfect. Unlikejust anyone with a camera , you can also expect a professional to reproduce this style again for your images. Only through years of experience can a professional photographer produce a consistent artistic "Look". If you want your images to Look Like the images you see in a portfolio, your best bet is to hire a professional.

What to expect when you book with Foxwood Photography
My Experience With such easy access to cheap, high-quality cameras, many people are setting up shop as a "professional equine photographer" these days. With years of industry experi ence, however , I know so much more goes into offering quality photography than just a good camera and a website! I've been in business since 2012, and I've photographed numerous clients in numerous situations both in Australia and Internationally. My experience in nearly every weather and lighting condition, ability to pose for flattering angles, and quick customer service responses have enabled me to keep doing what I do year after year! I have had many covers on major horse magazines and thousands of photos in show reports and articles in leading equine breed magazines in Australia and overseas.
