Within the equine community there has been a massive trend sweep through of 'BBG' or black background photographs . It's now reached a saturation point where if you can't do a BBG photograph you aren't accomplished in the field (pun intended ;) ).
Now don't get me wrong, the studio type of photography is beautiful and it can look fantastic in your living room or any other wall in your home.
But to me horses are such a beautiful, graceful creatures that harmonize with nature. My preference is photographing them surrounded by that very nature.
What's your preference? BBG or Nature?
