How to take better photos of your horse – even on your phone!

Have you ever found yourself wanting to take better photos of your horse? 

Whether you use a smart phone, a point and shoot camera or a DSLR, I’ve made a guide which can help you out.

I’m extremely privileged to be able to take photos of my own horse on my professional gear whenever I want. So I’ll confess that I don’t always stress over how my photos on my phone look. There are probably better smartphone photographers than me! But all of the tips within are ones which I use whenever I’m on a photoshoot, with real examples of how they translate to photographing with a phone. 

The top 10 things to achieving better photos on your phone are covered in this guide and include:

  1. Focus
  2. Lighting
  3. Camera Angle
  4. Camera Height
  5. Background
  6. Move your feet
  7. Variety
  8. Posing 
  9. Ears
  10. Editing
  11. Bonus tip – the biggest secret of all!

This guide includes 10 days of emails over two weeks, each with 1-2 tips to go out and practice.
