The UK’s premier equine photography academy ⭐️
Onsite/online courses by @emilyhancock_art + @hannah_freeland_photography

Location Walks! They are so incredibly important Location Walks! 

They are so incredibly important, but why? If you spend 20 minutes walking around your clients location with your notebook making notes of the perfect areas, locations, backdrops and props when it comes to the shoot you can simply refer to your book and choose the best spots in that area and you're not having to think on your feet. 

If you'd like to see how Emily and Hannah choose locations, props, backdrops and use them all in natural light come and join us on the next 3 Day Photography Workshop - 13th, 14th & 15th October in New Forest. 3 Shoots and 3 Editing Sessions in our brand new studio.

Do you ever feel like you're winging it on a shoot Do you ever feel like you're winging it on a shoot? 

Emily and Hannah have been following the same shoot structure for 20 years! 

We have it down to a system where we can turn that part of our brains off and concentrate on the client and their horse. 

If you would like to learn this system we break it right down on the 3 Day Photography Workshop. Our next one is in 14 days - 13th, 14th & 15th October in the New Forest. 

We have spaces left, if you would like to join us or find out more simply click the link in bio.

When was the last time you picked up your camera.. When was the last time you picked up your camera... just for you?

No client.
No deadline.
No brief.
No pressure to create something that would sell.

Just the freedom to explore.

Looking back over my career, I can see that some of the biggest shifts in my creativity didn't happen during paid jobs. They happened on the days I gave myself permission to wander, experiment and photograph purely because something caught my eye.

For me, Iceland has been one of those places. Every trip has quietly shaped my work in ways I didn't even realise at the time.

The funny thing about creativity is that it often works beneath the surface. You may not see the impact today, but years later you'll look back and realise those photographs you took simply for the joy of creating changed the direction of your work forever.

I've written a new blog sharing why I believe making time to create without expectation is one of the greatest investments you can make in your creative journey.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is... "I One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is...
"If I just keep posting on social media, clients will eventually come."
The reality?
Successful equine photography businesses use a combination of marketing strategies.

Over the years we've developed marketing plans that continue to fill our diaries year after year, and it's one of the biggest reasons our delegates leave feeling confident about growing their businesses.

Inside the mentorship you'll learn how to market both online and in person, including:
🐴 Making the most of equestrian events.
🤝 Building valuable collaborations.
📱 Using social media with purpose.
✍️ Creating blogs and content that attract your ideal clients.

Marketing doesn't have to feel like guesswork.
With the right knowledge and a clear plan, you can stop hoping for enquiries and start creating a business that consistently attracts the right people.
