Table portraits 9.

One more portrait bunch from spring 2021. This time it's short... The horse is Kentucky, who in my herd goes by the name Huligaani.

For once I actually took photos of the kind I wanted, it seems! I can judge the editing levels by the fact that I save the heavy edits apart from the originals, just to have the latter handy in case it's needed - and to not get blind for what I do. But definitely, these are about how they came from the camera, which is what I always try to go for when I photograph.

My favorite of the whole bunch.

At that point I had played with contrast and rich colors so much that I wanted to desaturate a little. It didn't work very well, hence why I only saved two photos of that kind. Overall I quickly learned how soon one can photograph this model's head and have no need for more. That doesn't always happen. 

Since I photographed some horses only a little, I will include also Afore here. He's a classic scale buckskin gelding who was sold as a dun stallion in the Pony Power set. For some reason I don't feel like he was very photogenic, but it is also possible I simply had run out of inspiration and setting ideas at that point.

That halter could be better... But also a lot worse. Overall, it fits Afore so he can keep it. And it is in my studio's colors!

In the tenth post I will show the mangalarca marchador.
