Among the beauties of nature, horses are what he loves to capture best — from Moroccan fantasias to the nomadic black-background studio, anywhere on the planet.
Roaming the grounds, observing, waiting for the right moment, the most suitable light. With a trained eye: horseracing and equestrian gatherings all over the world.
A concept and a photo studio to magnify exceptional stallions: his own lights, his own staging — a black background recreated anywhere on the planet.
Add contrast, optimize a visual — without redrawing, distorting or transmuting. He does not reinvent images, he reveals them.
« His passion for the horse shines through in every image: power, grace, and that gaze that holds yours. »Patrice Guéritot — 25 years of photography
After a childhood in Ivory Coast, Patrice Guéritot trained in scientific photography (Orsay) then advertising photography (Gobelins). Twenty years of magazine and advertising work, before returning to his first passion: the horse.
Dressage, show jumping, polo, trail riding — his love of horsemanship naturally led him to photograph the horse in all its worlds.
324 pages, more than 450 full-page photographs, some twenty breeds roaming free in their natural environments — from Icelandic ponies to Argentine Criollos.
