5 out of 5 stars Great information in this book   February 1, 2008

I am a fairly experienced photographer who has recently taken up horse show photography. I found this book very, very helpful--especially the sections on the particular phase of each gait which will result in the best photo. I purchased this and Lesli Groves' book, and found them to compliment each other--but if I could only buy one, it would be this one. Specifically, the 'troubleshooting' and 'planning the perfect shot' chapters are excellent; I am equally enthusiastic about the chapters he on computers, printers, and paper. The examples clearly explain the text. I learned a lot from this book, and my first photo practice session showed a significant improvement in my work.

This book was a good overview of equine photography. I am an intermediate photographer with moderate horse knowledge. It was easy to understand and implement - even with my lower level skills. The pictures in the book were amazing! Most of the book covered photography, but the video part was very informative and simple to understand. I would definitely recommend this book if you are going to photograph or video horses even just for fun.


2 out of 5 stars Not for the advanced photographer   November 17, 2008

If you are a novice or beginner photographer this book will help you. If you are an advanced or professional photographer the book is no help. I recommend finding other equine photographers and asking their advice. Some of my best advice has come from clients, who already know what to look for in horse photography.


1 out of 5 stars Disappointing and not what I expected.   April 22, 2010

Personally, I found Photographing and "Videoing" Horses (why is "Videoing" in quotes, anyway?) to be lacking in true professional advice. It may be somewhat OK for a complete beginner to photography. However, for anyone who has as much as touched a camera in their life, Lesli Grove's Photographing Horses book or any book on basic photography and video would probably be a lot more helpful. I would not recommend this book.
