Join me for this beautiful portrait masterclass with the opportunity to photograph a stunning horse and model at the estate and home of the late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, her beloved ‘Cruden Farm’. Dame Elisabeth spent most of her married life here and took huge pride in her home and gardens. She was also a lover of horses and during the great depression, commissioned to have the grand stables built, which still remain a proud and beautiful feature of the property today. 

At this incredible Masterclass we will have exclusive access to the stables, where we will photograph a magnificent horse and handler in costume. The perfect backdrop for making stunning equine portraits. We will also explore the winding driveways and lake area and take advantage of the stunning backdrop that is ‘Cruden Farm’.

The entire farm is a visual feast and together with a magnificent horse and handler/model, makes for superb photography!

This is the perfect masterclass for the enthusiast photographer wanting to take your equine portrait photography to the next level or to expand your image portfolio. It is expected you will know how to use your cameras manual settings as we will be concentrating on posing, lighting and composition. Tuition will of course be provided on what settings to use etc on the day, but good camera knowledge is a must. This masterclass is not suitable for beginners.
