Presenting "Stay Close," a captivating portrayal of two wild horses sharing an intimate moment on the expansive prairies of Cody, Wyoming. This photograph was taken during a memorable journey to the West in the early summer of 2020, where the search for these magnificent creatures became the centerpiece of our adventure. Among the larger herd, this pair stood out, their bodies close and nuzzling, creating a heartwarming scene of camaraderie and closeness. Captured just before sunset, the setting sun cast a magical glow, enhancing the contrast between the vast prairie landscape and the dramatic cloud-filled sky above. "Stay Close" isn't just a photograph; it's an extraordinary piece of art that tells a story of companionship amidst the wild and untamed beauty of Wyoming. This image is one among many in our collection, each honoring the awe-inspiring grace of these remarkable animals.
Can a Wild Horse change someone’s life? Well, they changed mine, I can tell you that. As a seasoned photographer specializing in portraits and headshots, my journey took an unexpected turn in 2021 during the Covid lockdown. My wife and I ventured out west from our home in Nashville, Tennessee, eager to photograph wildlife and landscapes that were outside my usual repertoire. Upon arriving in Cody, Wyoming, we discovered McCullough Peaks, an expansive area of 120,000 acres home to approximately 140 wild horses. Intrigued by the challenge of finding and photographing these magnificent creatures, we adjusted our plans and set off on this new adventure. The experience was transformative. We spent three days in McCullough Peaks, and from that moment on, we were hooked. Now, we return to the West multiple times a year, exploring the wild habitats of Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Wyoming to capture these incredible animals through my lens. Many people express a desire to see wild horses in their natural environment but are hindered by physical, financial, or geographical limitations. My mission is to bring the beauty and spirit of these wild horses to you through my photography.
