This work is a combination of photography and digital image editing. I took several photos'of the same horse with a nice dark background so I could make it completely black afterwards, and later I picked the best ones and merged them using photoshop. I also made the reflection in post-processing because I thought it gave a nice effect.
The original fineart portrait was of course in colour (also found in this shop), these were natural soft brown tones. But I also always like to make photos'black and white, this way they become harder and more contrasty. This way they also fit into a completely different interior again.
My model in the photo is called Mc Dreamy, a tinker gelding that lives up to his name. The tinker or gypsy horse is normally motley in colour but this gelding had a special champagne colour, which makes him very special.
