Product Description
Horse: A Portrait is a collection of photographs and writing by award-winning photographer Christiane Slawik. Taking us on her travels around the world, Slawik tells the stories behind the photos and about her personal love of horses. She writes, "Horses have been facinating for me in a way that I can only describe with difficulty. This feeling and facination I try to capture with my camera - this one magical moment that not only I can take home with me in my heart but that others can share in my photos. A moment tht can be everything: strength and elegance, dynamics, combined with wild and simultaneously gentle spirit." Through Slawik's incredible photography and inspirational words, we view a portrait of both these magnificent animals and also of Slawik herself.
