As you approach the rural central Florida city of Ocala. it’s easy to see why this is known as the “Horse Capital of the World.” For miles, brown and white board fences enclose squares of green pastures. Well-built barns abound. And the sleek, muscular animals themselves graze in fields against a blue horizon backdrop. Marion County is home to more than 600 Thoroughbred farms and is one of a handful of Thoroughbred centers in the world. And Ocala is not just about thoroughbreds, it’s about a whole variety of horse breeds that call Ocala their home. We will be focusing on the non-thoroughbred horses, Gypsies, Iberians, Lusitanos, etc.
At the heart of it all – in the southwest corner of the county – is the 500-acre Florida Horse Park, an official training site for the U.S. Equestrian Team and host of nationally recognized three-day events and international and Olympic-level equine sports competitions including dressage, polo and versatility challenges.
This is an equine photographer’s paradise, and we intend to take full advantage of all the opportunities that beckon us.
This is a 6-day, 7-night workshop that includes accommodations, travel to and from the airport, and transportation to the different shooting locations each day. We will be going to a different location each afternoon and will be shooting a wide range of some very beautiful horses. This is an easy-going workshop, and anyone that loves beautiful horses and perfect weather scenery will be rewarded.
As with all workshops, Tony will share his entire creative process with participants… how to see and work with light, planning a shoot with the right angles and perspectives, choosing backgrounds, camera settings during the shoot, and all that goes into the creation of a dynamic image after it has been shot.
Cost is $4200 per person. Limited to 12 people.
