motion pictures and free-running pictures
Pictures of horses in motion or running free are some of the most special subjects that always bring a lot of fun and joy. It's all about the dynamic beauty and grace of the horse. With running free and moving pictures, I capture the horse's natural elegance and power in a unique way.
Free running pictures allow the horse to move freely on a spacious, fenced meadow. I capture the natural movements. The wide grass areas offer the horse the space it needs to develop completely freely and uninhibitedly. This freedom is reflected in the pictures and gives them a special liveliness and naturalness. The horse can be completely itself and let its energy flow freely.

Alternatively, moving images of horses can be created by lunging them on a long lunge line. This is also suitable for special locations that are not fenced in. For example, in the dunes, on the beach or in the heath. Here we concentrate on targeted movements and dynamic poses that underline the horse's power. Through skillful post-processing, disruptive elements such as the lunge line are discreetly retouched to reinforce the impression of freedom and movement.
A shooting for free-running pictures and motion pictures of your horse offers you the opportunity to capture the horse's natural beauty and expressiveness in unique images.
What do I have to consider if I want to take free running and movement pictures of horses?
Horse safety: Make sure the area for free running or lunging is safe and free of obstacles to avoid injury.
Suitable location: Choose a location with enough space and suitable ground for the horse to move around.
Natural environment: A natural environment such as a wide meadow or paddock gives the images authenticity and beauty.
Incorporating the background: Make sure the background is interesting and shows off the horse's movement. The horse should stand out a little from the background and not be too distracting.
Lighting conditions: Use natural daylight to best capture the beauty of the horse and its movements.
Proper equipment: Use appropriate equipment such as a lunge line, halter and, if necessary, aids to secure the horse and the surrounding area.
Varying perspectives: Experiment with different angles and perspectives to best capture the dynamics of the movement.
Focus on expression : Focus on capturing the horse's expression and emotions as he moves.
Post-processing: Use post-processing to remove distracting elements and optimize images without losing their natural charm.
