Description

Photographing horses and humans together is always a challenge, even when you’ve done it a time or two. As an experienced professional equine portrait photographer, Kirstie Jones shares a behind-the-scenes look at how she directs a typical session to guarantee usable images.

During this 80+ minute video, you’ll join Kirstie on-set to pose the horse, how to pose the equestrian and how to pose the two together for a natural, attractive series of images that convey the bond between horse and rider. You’ll gain insight on how to interact with your subject to put them at ease for beautiful images. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to problem-solve for light challenges, windy days, uncooperative horses, posing difficulties, and safety concerns.

Back in the studio, Kirstie brings you behind the computer screen as she walks through a review and self-critique of images from the photoshoot. You’ll learn how to critique and improve your own images as she shares what worked and what didn’t that day. You’ll gain skills to improve photos as you take them, in order to save valuable time in post-production. Additionally, you’ll get a peek into Kirstie’s gear bag, and tips on ways to get a great expression from your equine models.

BONUS: 36 posing cue cards to save on your phone’s camera roll with ideas for on-the-go inspiration.

    Absolutely loved this tutorial and can’t wait to play around with some new poses! I felt like my posing in sessions was getting stale and I needed to breath some life into it… this video did exactly that! This is the second video I’ve purchased from Kirstie and definitely won’t be the last!

    What I loved most about this course was how Kirstie takes you behind the scenes and it felt like I was standing right behind her while she was directing the girl and shooting! I got to be a fly on the wall during her session, then going through the photos with her felt like I was another eye in her post production process. This will definitely not be the last course I buy from Kirstie Marie!!!

    This course inspired me to step back, slow down, and be more thoughtful about where to place my subjects, where to stand, and how to efficiently move around my subjects in order to create greater variety. Following Kirstie’s advice will also lead to less post-processing time!

    I bought the creative collaboration course bundle in spring 2022 mostly to get this course, and loved it! I am not an equine photographer but had a session scheduled involving a horse (by client request, not something I do often!) and as someone who did not grow up around horses and doesn’t know much, this course was what I needed to be successful in that session. This course, and a good horse handler! Super thankful to Kirstie for great info that led to a magical mini session with a mini horse!

    This tutorial is what inspired me to specialize in capturing the connection between an animal and their owner. Until I purchased this course, I was mostly doing portraits of dogs alone, often shelter dogs too, but now I can’t wait to add their humans to the photos. There are so many suggested poses, and it is super helpful to see how Kirstie directs her clients, which is something that was always making me feel a bit nervous
