How Great Horse Photos Can Improve A Home

By Deborah Ellis


Country clubs, squires and gentlemen used to create their identity with certain iconic prints or photographs hung prominently on strategic walls. It created a certain kind of atmosphere that elevated homes with their own kind of magic. There was a certain era in history that held some domesticated animals as great symbols of pride, beauty, hard work and strength.

This era still resonates in many homes, public places and even business offices today. Great horse photos are also excellent decor items that have retained a singular interest for many. Some like these even without having seen a live animal or have taken care of one in a paddock, barn or stall attached to their homes.

The beauty of any animal is apparent when painted, but horses have always challenged painters with their hard to capture proportions. Photography, though, is able to capture these, but it will take some kind of expertise and luck to get them exactly right, using light, the natural mannerisms of equines as well as striking poses.

The character of good photos with horses exude power, grace and confidence, and they will all seem natural visual elements in these. The need for their physical presence no longer applies when these elements are present in a picture, and these are more natural to breeds created precisely for these qualities. Aficionados like their pictures to have all these things and perspectives.

Capturing horses in their element also requires study and will even involve some sketching to familiarize yourself with movements of line and balance. A painting perspective will reveal all that has fascinated artists about these animals for centuries on end. Pictures will necessarily be that of natural poses, since horses are creatures of the wild.

Those who become professionals in the field of taking photographs of animals in the wild are uncommon. Most people take for granted the fact that it takes some doing to get an equine pose exactly right. It requires experience, some good academic training and discipline to capture the art of the equine pose.

When shots are taken candidly, they will not often turn out good, especially with movement. Natural objects are animate and therefore are in constant movement, and sometimes will not be observed by the naked eye. The one behind the lens needs some artistic control to make good pictures and uses artistry to compose that excellent and valuable horse picture.

These four legged wonders and the art involving them will cost. But they can be accessed as commercial art in high volume print, although the unique item will be more wonderful to have. So there is a need to be able to choose between great commercial photographs and those that are rare, if you want to become a bona fide collector.

If a person has this kind of stuff, best practice is to have it framed well. There are art shops who make good business from making excellent prints look better. There is a sort of magnificence at work with these subjects because they provide a natural drama to places that feature them.
