How to Photograph Horses in Freezing Temperatures with Two Strobes | Samuel Bouret

Photographing horses in freezing temperatures isn’t easy but the results can be incredible. In this winter horse photography session, Samuel Bouret heads into the cold with a Canon R5 and a single strobe to create dramatic, intentional portraits that highlight the connection between horse and rider. Battling wind, low temperatures, and cautious horses, the goal was simple: keep the lighting clean, the setup minimal, and the emotion authentic. From wide environmental compositions to intimate close-ups, this behind-the-scenes look at lighting horse portraits with flash shows how one light can transform a scene, even in harsh winter conditions.
