Limited Edition Fine Art Print – July 2024
Some images aren’t planned—they arrive in the quiet in-between moments, when the camera is simply an extension of your curiosity. Obsidian Grace was made on a hot summer day in July 2024, during a relaxed afternoon with my family. I hadn’t gone out as an event photographer that day. I brought my camera along with no expectations—just to play, to be present, to enjoy the time together.
But the unexpected unfolded.
We found ourselves near a longhorn cattle show, and among the animals was this striking young longhorn. Calm and composed, its posture carried a quiet dignity. The light fell just right, and I took only a handful of images—choosing not to shoot the event in its entirety, but instead to remain in the moment.
Obsidian Grace is the result: a portrait that reveals the often-overlooked elegance and strength in livestock. There’s a power in this young longhorn—refined lines, a dark, lustrous coat, and a gaze that suggests more than instinct. It’s a piece that challenges assumptions and elevates a subject often seen as ordinary into something worthy of pause.

There’s beauty in slowing down, in choosing to see something fully. Obsidian Grace reflects that choice—a quiet yet powerful moment of connection, rendered in crisp, expressive detail. This limited edition print is a reminder that grace is not always flashy. Sometimes it walks on four legs, stands in the heat, and waits to be noticed.
