The eye of this beautiful Friesian stallion tells a thousand stories. About his past, his emotions, his bond with the rider. At a glance you see character, strength and vulnerability.
After a long car journey, I finally got to capture this impressive animal. His owner told me that he has only lived at this location for 1.5 years, where he is lovingly cared for by the rider and his family. The bond between them is still young, but is growing by the day.
This stallion has been through a lot, and you can feel it. He has not been out under saddle very often yet, but what he showed during the shoot touched me deeply. His charisma was pure. His strength undeniable. But that very strength was carried by his gentle, connected nature.
With this photo, I wanted to capture exactly that: inner strength arising from vulnerability. Because only when we dare to open up can true strength emerge.
Perhaps you recognise this feeling? A look, a moment, a bond - that says more than a thousand words.
