Commissioned Portraiture for Carolyn Hollingsworth
 
Every portrait begins with curiosity. Through my lens, I explored the space where grit meets beauty, where worn leather, quiet confidence, and lived experience become part of the same story.

Light Falls Differently in Ocala ~ Part II

Commissioned portraiture by Erika Moore  with “Hollywood,” a 13-year-old American Warmblood, breeding stallion and a Hunter Derby rockstar! 🌟

The light in Ocala continues to surprise me.

Coming from the stark clarity of the New Mexico desert, I’ve found myself slowing down here ~ watching how the softer atmosphere shifts the mood, the movement, even the way the horses seem to inhabit the landscape.

Each session feels less about chasing light and more about settling into it.

Light Falls Differently in Ocala ~ Part I

Commissioned portraiture by Mandy Miller featuring her 11-year-old Holsteiner gelding, Shemya.

From the high desert of New Mexico to the lush landscape of Ocala, Florida, I became intrigued by how the quality of light uniquely shapes each landscape.

The desert feels sharp and exposed. Ocala moves differently ~ softer, slower, more atmospheric.

It took time to settle into the rhythm of the light and landscape here, allowing both myself and the work to evolve alongside it.

A four-part study exploring color, monochrome, and the subtle shift of light.
 
Printed at 24x36 on fine art rag paper with archival inks.
 
As color recedes, the black-and-white image reveals something more elemental ~ quietly transforming the nature of the photograph.

After several months of rebuilding and refining, my new website is complete.

The Equine Galleries have been thoughtfully reimagined to reflect my focus on fine equestrian portraiture, show-ring imagery, editorial work, and equestrian-inspired weddings.

I’d love for you to visit and spend a few moments there. If you’ve been considering creating something timeless of your own, private session inquiries are welcome.

With their sharp edges and clean lines, whippets are like living architecture.

I was fascinated by how the form of this breed seemed statuesque against the snow, capturing the quiet intersection of form, landscape, and light.

To the devoted equestrian, every year is the “Year of the Horse!”

Classic and timeless, the iconography of the equine spirit inspires interiors that are always in style.

Bring the spirit of the horse into your space. Inquire about commissions and custom photography via my website below or send a DM. 📸

My journey in photography began in the darkroom in the early ‘70s. 
 
How I deeply miss the magic of playing with light under the enlarger, mixing chemicals/toners ~ slowly watching the image come to life in the developer tray. This series pays homage to the beauty of stripping color from a photograph, allowing the viewer to focus on form, light, and mystery.
 
I am currently accepting private commissions by appointment. Please contact me via my website, link in the bio above.

Commissioned Portraiture for Carolyn Hollingsworth. 
 
An accomplished film industry professional, Carolyn spent two decades in Hollywood before transitioning to the growing Santa Fe production scene. 
 
This Modern Cowgirl is defined by action: she co-pilots helicopters, rides horses & motorcycles, and swims the challenging English and Catalina Channels. (Yes, seriously!) 
 
These portraits aimed to distill the essence of her softness and beauty. Therefore, I chose to shoot and process the images in black and white.

Personal work — nothing makes my heart sing, and my camera ignite more than witnessing these Whippets in their pure natural form. Amaya, my black and white hound (soul dog), along with the squad: Nala & Tazzi Barker 🐾 and new friend Clooney 🐾, shred the grass with speed and vivacious energy, free to be their absolute Whippet selves. 
 
Special thanks to Lisa & David Barker and MarySweitzer
