Horses and historic riders on the beach

About this event

Horses are a wonderful subject for photography, but add in riders in historic dress and a beach setting and you get something special. Join us for a great photography experience as we offer a session of beautiful horses and riders being posed and ridden along a lovely natural sandy beach with the sea in the background.

 We are delighted to be working with a team of very talented re-enactors called Equistry and we plan to have around 4- 5 horses and riders available to capture. They will be in a variety of historic dress from the Medieval period to Victorian so there is plenty of variety and each horse will be wearing historically accurate riding gear. The re-enactors are well versed in photography, and will be posing and positioning the action for us so that we get the best angles and light. The TimeLine team will also be on hand to offer guidance and photo tips. We aim to do some high action with riding and running as well as static poses.

As this is an outdoor event it will be weather dependent, and if adverse weather were forecast we would postpone to a later date. Horse behaviour is always dependent on the horses mood on the day, the horses are well trained but theirs and your safety is paramount so the day will run with this in mind.  The exact timings for this shoot are currently TBC but likely we will run from late morning or early afternoon into late/early evening. Tide times will be checked nearer to the date which will determine our photography timings but you can expect that the shoot will run sometime between 10:30am-4pm and it will be a 4.5 hour event.
