The Equestrian Masterpiece Collection

This collection is for the discerning equestrian who views their portraits not just as photographs, but as timeless works of art. It represents the pinnacle of specialized equine portraiture, transforming a moment into a gallery-worthy masterpiece through expert composition and meticulous post-production.

Investment: $1,495

This package is meticulously curated to deliver unparalleled quality and value, guaranteeing you a stunning portfolio of your partnership.

What is Included:

• 10 High-Resolution Digital Masterpieces: A hand-selected portfolio of the absolute best images from your session.
• Signature Painterly Retouching: The price covers our advanced, time-intensive digital artistry applied to all 10 files. This includes comprehensive color grading, detailed skin/coat refinement, tack/halter cleanup, and the application of our distinct, fine-art Painterly style that sets your images apart.
• Scene Perfection: Extensive scene and background cleanup to ensure every detail focuses purely on you and your horse.

A Note on Artistic Specialization:

The Collection price covers all standard professional and artistic enhancements, including our signature Painterly style. Specialized, highly technical manipulations such as the dramatic Black/White Background Conversion or intricate Composite/Fantasy Edits are considered premium artistic services and are available as separate add-ons, ensuring we dedicate the necessary time and skill to these unique pieces.

The Dramatic Black/White Background Conversion

The Black/White Background edit transforms an ordinary image into a striking, high-contrast piece of art, capturing the intense beauty and sculpted presence of your horse. This process replicates the look of a controlled studio setting, regardless of where the original photograph was taken.

Investment: $175 per image

This is a premium service reserved for those seeking the ultimate in photographic drama and technical perfection.

Unmatched Artistic Labor and Detail:

The price reflects the immense digital labor required for this specialist technique, which goes far beyond standard retouching:

1. High-Precision Masking: We meticulously, pixel-by-pixel, separate the horse and rider from the original background. This process often takes hours to execute flawlessly, ensuring every mane hair and whisker is isolated crisply without any halo effect.
2. Light Sculpture & Shadow Control: After background replacement, we digitally sculpt the light to create dramatic depth, contrast, and three-dimensionality, simulating the nuanced fall of high-end studio lighting.
3. Maximum Impact: The result is a bold, gallery-quality image that completely isolates your partner and demands attention.

This service is exclusively applied to images already purchased and licensed within The Equestrian Masterpiece Collection.

Barn discounts are available for 4 or more horses at a single barn.
