Glasgow Streets to Equine Dreams: my path to full-time horse photography

Horse Photography Feature

Super happy to contribute to the lastest edition of Creative Light Magazine.

I remember strolling down a bustling Glasgow street one late evening, having just enjoyed a wonderful family get-together. The company was great, the food excellent, and let’s just say… the wine was flowing freely. Feeling a little merry, I found myself enthusiastically telling anyone who would kindly lend an ear that I wanted to be a full-time equine photographer! This declaration came straight from the heart (and perhaps the wine, too). It felt like I was setting up my metaphorical stall, selling my dream to both my family and an unsuspecting Glasgow.

“Well, I’ve said it now,” I thought. “Guess I’ll have to go for it.” The year was 2014.

So, I joined The Guild. Having spent 20 years employed in the digital industry, I had no idea where to start, how I would get there, or what the process would look like. But I knew that if I surrounded myself with skilful, like-minded people willing to share their knowledge, I could take elements from what they taught me, tailor them to my needs, and focus on my goal.
 
Looking back, I didn’t set a specific timeline or many expectations. I thought improving my craft alone would lead to success, but I later realised this mindset was flawed. It was only through the guidance of The Guild and my business mentors that I found the way forward.
