Having been taking photographs of equine portraits professionally for over 2 years now, I have amassed a large portfolio of images. I have been organising these images on my computer and various hard drives recently and realised I haven't featured many black and white photographs on the Pony Portrait social media channels, blog or portfolio section of the website.

I have therefore decided to create a small collection of these black and white for this blog post. I am a big fan of black and white photography and love the difference in the look and feel that it can produce over colour images - the small details seem to be highlighted more especially on a horse's face and the images have a real timeless feel to them.

This is especially true for the image of Lauren and her wonderful Connemara, Captain Elegance, pictured above.

I hope you enjoy looking at these images and I am looking forward to incorporating more black and white images in future portrait sessions.

If you would like to capture beautiful memories with your horse or pony (either in colour or black and white), please do get in touch to discuss the options available to you by emailing pippa@ponyportrait.com.
