Together


Together, originally uploaded by Dan Baillie.

This portrait was one of several taken on a recent privately commissioned shoot. The models here are Solway Star and Kate. I particularly love the moment captured here, there is a strong connection between the girl and horse and it makes for a lovely image. Ironically this shot was a grab shot which I took just as I was starting to put my camera equipment away after the formal shoot. Which just goes to show that some of the best pictures can not be planned!

The photograph was taken using natural light and Nikon DSLR with 70-200mm f2.8 lens.

I was recently awarded a distinction from the Royal Photographic Society which was a proud moment for me, and has encouraged me to try some new techniques and styles of photography.
