Rewarded Moments

Limited Edition Fine Art Print – May 2024

Some of the most powerful photographs come not from planning, but from presence—from being there in the quiet aftermath of something meaningful.

Rewarded Moments was captured just after the birth of my sister’s second colt in May 2024. It was a calm, private exchange between horse and owner—a mare gently accepting treats from my sister as a reward for bringing new life into the world. No fanfare, no commotion. Just stillness, trust, and shared understanding between the two.

I was caught up in the excitement of it all and hadn’t grabbed my low-light lenses. I also forgot to adjust my camera settings from a previous shoot. But that oversight turned into something unexpected: the result was a soft, shadowed image—bathed in backlight from a barn window—that captured something more intimate than I ever could have planned.

There’s a purity in the scene. The backlighting reveals dust in the air and soft outlines around both horse and human, giving the photo a timeless, almost dreamlike quality. It’s not just a portrait. It’s a story of partnership, resilience, and reward after labor.
