It’s not every day you get a dumping of fresh snow, followed by sunshine and 35 degrees, but that was the setup for this seasonal shoot for the Ames Percheron Team. For this shoot, they hitched 8 horses and took off through the snow. I had a blast running around with them in boots and coveralls, and at the end, I have included a behind-the-scenes photo, taken by my friend Abby, who came along to assist that day.
I’ve been wanting to get drone photos of the team for quite some time and this fresh snow gave me just the right opportunity. My only mistake was not doing it a bit earlier when the shadows would have been shorter and more defined.
Before I photographed the whole team, they chased one of their very dappled horses around a snow-filled pasture. He put on quite a show for me!
