International Equine Photographer

SPECIALIZED IN THE ACADEMIC ART OF RIDING

Photography has been a part of my life for many years. For me, it’s about capturing moments you can come back to and truly feel again – like a small journey back in time to your most beautiful memories.

I didn’t learn photography in a traditional way, but developed my skills over the years in my own way – including my time at the New York Film Academy. In 2011, I started my own business with my camera, and since then I’ve been traveling the world to visit horse people and capture their special, meaningful moments.

We only have to do one thing with horses - spending time well
— Bent Branderup

Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and are an essential part of who I am. In 2005, I was introduced to Academic Art of Riding through my sister Elisa and was instantly fascinated. For me, it stands for harmony, sensitivity, and a true connection.

And that’s exactly what defines my photography as well: nothing forced, just letting the moment unfold. My personal motto says it best:

Anything forced is not beautiful
— Xenophon
